I was quite anxious about this holiday, it is so hard for us to disappoint the little ones, but no one can be sure who is passing along the Covid Apple in this rendition of a Halloween Snow White fairytale. Is the little old lady giving it to Snow White, or the other way around? Is the child transporting it from one house to another (all unintentionally of course)? It was good to see all of the creative approaches people took to carrying on with Halloween traditions this year, I hope it works out for us all. <em>Trick or Treat<\/em> is available for purchase.

I&#8217;ll get in touch and we can make arrangements. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each of the paintings introduces its own small narrative along with my intense appreciation of these nostalgic sweets. I enjoy the associations each brings with the past, the present, the future, and the appreciation of the here and now, the moment and being present in our bodies, appreciating each moment life gives us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below you can find progression videos of each of the three new cravings paintings.
