Creepy Tree - photo and photoshop

This is a creepy tree near our house, it never has leaves, been there for years.  Often there are families of crows ( in groups they are called murder of crows...which just makes it creepier) gathered on the branches.  I love this tree. Something tells me Alfred Hitchcock would have too :)

Paintings in Elliott's room

Hedwig - acrylic paint and paper





















Pigwidgeon - acrylic paint and paper

I wanted to a Harry Potter -esk theme in my baby boy's room, but wanted to make it younger, more appropriate for a small child ... I just love the colours and characters in the movies. So I have the owls going up on his wall, and am working on a long red train to go into his room as well. My very talented sister made some curtains to follow this theme.
