Here's my painting and sketch from this year's "Get The Lead Out" show, at Swoon Gallery.
After a long spring/summer of painting creatures amongst foxgloves, the weather has finally changed and the nights are turning cold, both outside and now in my paintings.  As I created this one, it started to feel like one of the first crisp nights of autumn, and the animals gather around a smoking thurible under the moonlight and stars.
