Details: Title: "Out Trick-Or-Treating" Size: 28"x18" BIG! 28" at peak, 18" wide, over 1" thick wood and resin trim/frame Media: Original Acrylic painting & copper and patina paitnts on masonite panel, with built-in frame/mouldings & accents made of carved wood & resin! Date: 2008 About This Piece: This is my latest painting - it combines both 2-dimensional painted elements as well as 3-dimensional sculptural/molding elements! Not only is it a stunning original acrylic painting - it also has an ORIGINAL "Strangeling Frame"! The frame was handcrafted and hand-cast by myself & Matty - in fact the frame itself contains one of my 3-d wide eyed beauties, clutching a pumpkin, as well as some little skull details!  "Out Trick-Or-Treating" features a trio of costume-clad (or are these even costumes at all??) cuties - a beautiful little Halloween witch with haunting eyes, a handsome Pumpkin king with a Jack-O-Lantern head, and a grinning skull.  Other Halloween elements can be found if you look closely!  There is a phenomenal amount of detail in this piece, I'm very proud of it.  It is on a gothic-style peaked wood panel (masonite) with a stunning carved wood and cast resin frame. The framing/panel almost looks like something you'd see in a Renaissance or Medieval art museum - much like an old altar piece. The frame is actually part of the panel itself -combining the 3-dimensional characters along with the painting on the panel. At the top of the frame is a magnificent ornate casting featuring a little Strangeling clutching a pumpkin, and some lovely skull & crossbone elements (all part of the sculpture cast in lightweight resin). Other details enhance the framing, which is all a hand-painted (by me!) copper and aged/antiqued brass patina. The painting is quite large - I've even posted a photo of myself standing with it in the auction (see the link below) to show size. It is about 28" high and 18" wide, and the ornamentation on the frame is probably about an inch or two thick. It is READY TO HANG! I am so happy I am able to start creating works like these, and by collaborating with my husband and his workshop, I truly have made my dream a reality, especially now that we are branching into TRULY original frames! It really has to be seen in person to appreciate it!  Yes it the "frame" (attached to the masonite panel to form  surface panel is included!).  It is all one single piece (the moulding & resin elements are attached to the panel itself!  Cast resin & lightweight woods keep it lightweight and easy to hang up - and - it is READY TO HANG and is really stunning, finished with a nice varnish.  I hope you enjoy looking at it, and maybe even adding it to your collection. It has a great deal of detail in it, and the colours are considerably brighter in real life than in the low-quality scan. You are bidding on a signed and dated original painting by fantasy artist Jasmine Becket-Griffith (aka Strangeling). It is the actual painting and NOT a print.  Actual painting is MUCH more vibrant, detailed and higher quality than the low-resolution scan. The copyright watermark is just for the auction, it's not in the actual painting! It may have been cropped or discoloured slightly by my scanner.
