omething Wicked" this way comes… measuring approximately 11 inches by 14 inches, this mixed media project took me a little over 4 months to complete. I had this idea years ago, Alice/Showmaster riding a carousel horse, which, under its dark spell, could be ridden anywhere at all...like Mary Poppins… as I was working, a few interesting unplanned things happened, like the horse turned out to be an indefinable pale color, reminding one of Death upon his pale horse...and Hell follows with him…so I kind of went that direction with it.

Also, in my mind as I was working this one, my favorite quote from Stephen King's classic novel, IT:

The calliope music had gotten louder yet. It drifted and echoed...there was nothing cheery about it now. It had become a dirge. It screamed like wind and water, and in his mind's eye, Stan saw a county fair at the end of autumn, wind and rain blowing up a deserted midway, pennons flapping, tents bulging, falling over, wheeling away like canvas bats. He saw empty rides standing against the sky like scaffolds; the wind drummed and hooted in the weird angles of their struts. He suddenly understood that death was in this place with him, that death was coming for him out of the dark and he could not run.

"Something Wicked" has many special effects one can really only appreciate in person, such as imbedded rhinestones, metallic paints, and some 3D parts. So far, the original is available, so if you're interested in purchasing this artwork, please contact me for details.
