Title: Witchcraft in the Air - Betty LaVette
Size: 8in x 8in
Materials: Acrylic gouache, crackle paste on canvas board. Protected with several layers of Montana archival UV resistant varnish.
Description:. I heard this tune on the very first compilation album I bought of Northern Soul, and happened upon it again a couple of weeks ago....its simply CRACKING! And very fitting fir the time of year....due to being a typically indecisive Libran, I had the choice of this or the next paintings title, couldn't choose so am painting the two, which work equally good as a pair or individually.
A talc spill and puff of Tweed powder from its tin, with wooden stopper, wonderful cuban block heel ladies oxblood shoes, the 7" vinyl record and for some reason in my mind Parma Violets make total sense for a witch, well this mad witch loves them! So really the titles play up to the Halloween theme but are paintings that would look grand all year round.
