The October ART Challenge is SCARY STUFF. I spared y'all the discomfo
rt of posting Rush Limbaugh in Speedo's or Cousin 
Fred's bratty little kid dressed up as Spiderman. I left out cats, too, because Michelle Burnett's cat, Figaro's eyes are still following me around the room. What I have presented below are of a more mystical and serious nature, and may provide a quite marketable painting for you after the challenge has come and gone. These images are copyright free and I invite you to add to or remove from, any elements as you see fit.AND..... ONE SPECIAL PRIZE. Of the submissions, I will make a random drawing for a greatly sought after, dearly prized, and world famous "JAMES' Tiny Treasures and Curiosity GrabBag" This will be a little box of surprises that I accumulate from my wanderings, put in a neat little box, and foist off, er, award to some lucky winner each challenge. Could contain durn near anything... collector's stamps, garage sale leftovers, precious mementos, old hundred dollar bills....well, maybe not. But, it's sure to be a lot of fun, if nothing else. So send them paintings on in.
