Happy Haunting...
On Nov. 5th I'm taking part in the Blogblast For Peace. Won't you join me?
"Here in this wondrous way we keep
These haunts of ancient peace.
Let us go there again
When we need some relief
Oh, when I can’t find my feet
When I need rest and sleep."
- Van Morrison
Shelley Munro says I like the one of the Valkyries.

Ohhhh awesome paintings!
The Gargoyle at Nortre Dame reminded me of "Stone Heart" a YA I read to my boys recently.
LOVE this.
Some of these paintings are amazing. I like the one of the Valkayries.
Excellent artwork. I hadn't seen most of them before.
And thanks for flying a Peace Globe in your sidebar and for promoting the date!
