Halloween Framed Art

Halloween is a whimsical, magical time of year. In autumn the days begin to get shorter, the weather cooler and the leaves on the trees change colour to red, bronzes, oranges and browns that match with the classic jack-o-lantern pumpkin found on porches glowing their eerie smiles at night, and the eyes glowing next to it, a black cat. But with the fun comes the scary and it is the combination of these two that makes framed Halloween art so much fun.

The most iconic symbol of Halloween is the pumpkin. It is the food of the season and also from which Jack-O-Lanterns are carved. Carving pumpkins is a nostalgic activity for any previous child at this time of year and Norman Rockwell captures these times perfectly in his piece of framed Halloween Jack-O-Lantern artwork, “Ghostly Gourds”. The only thing spookier than a Jack-O-Lantern is a Jack-O-Lantern with a cat because of course cats are favoured magical familiar of witches. Although William Vanderdasson’s artwork of a cat with a carved pumpkin is not quite that sinister, or is that what they want you to think?
