The Japanese maple tree in the Portland Japanese Garden is probably the most photographed tree in Oregon. This painting captures the strident colors of this famous maple tree.

About the Painting
The Japanese maple tree in the Portland Japanese Garden is probably the most photographed tree in Oregon. The gnarled branches and delicate, filigree-like leaves are most beautiful at the peak of fall color, usually around the end of October. This painting captures the strident colors of this famous maple tree.

“King Tut’s Sarcophagus”

I made this out of old tin, scrap wood, fabric mache from old t-shirts and then spent hours painting it. It was 7 feet tall and I could fit inside it and scare the hell out of my kids. 😉

I absolutely love Halloween 🎃🤪. Last year I put my Christmas tree up early and turned it into a Halloween tree. This year I’ve started crocheting some Halloween ornaments, and here’s my first one of the season: a candy corn. #Crochet 🧶

This is a photo of my crochet candy corn amigurumi. She measures about 5 inches, she is striped in yellow, orange and white. She has a cute face with expressive eyes, eyelashes and a smile. Happy Halloween 🎃!
