haunted....

OK, so I didn't complete a Halloween painting.
The next best thing is posting this photo of the haunted ruins located at Barnsley Gardens near Rome, GA.
I've been there on a bright sunny Summer day, but there's still an uneasy air about the location. The gardens are beautiful and meticulous --- and the ruins are well-kept.
But still........

Let me explain...

On Friday, October 22nd, Donna Hilley (owner of Artistic Gifts and Framing in Dalton, GA) hosted an Artists' Open House. My husband had delivered my tents, display screens and artwork around 8:00am. I hurriedly began setting up for the event. Then 'hubby' drove back to the location with a - surprise! - sausage biscuit from Hardee's (yum). In the meantime, Donna had furnished donuts (yum, again). I'm rarely without a diet Dr. Pepper or diet Coke. I hope that explains this photo of me with a sausage biscuit, a donut and a diet Coke.
