I’m sharing recipes and tips on being frugal while polishing up my photography and creative writing skills. There’s an occasional spiritual discussion, a book review here and there, and probably more pictures of my dog than are strictly necessary. It’s part chat with a girlfriend over a glass of sweet tea, part conversation overheard in the grocery store checkout line, and part Thanksgiving dinner with the crazy branch of the family.

My Favorite Piece of Art

This is "Trick or Treat" by Judith Cheney. She's a fabulous folk artist and I've bought several of her prints, but this is my favorite. I love Fall, I love Halloween, and this piece just captures for me all the excitement of the season - I can practically feel the chill in the air and hear the rustle of leaves! I appreciate her attention to detail in all her artwork, but I think the light is what makes this one so special. Don't you just want to run right up to the door of that house in the middle? I bet they've got the BEST candy! Do you have a favorite piece of art? One that makes you smile every time you see it?

Your picture is beautiful. I love house pictures and have a small collection. My favorite is the one my daughter made in fourth grade, of our house. I framed it the instant she brought it home, in a rummage sale frame. It still makes me smile and I think it always will. She's 23 now. Happy autumn!
