Hey Alla! I'm a professional illustrator, and every year at Halloween I do a promo mailer based on the holiday... I can honestly say that this is by far the closest thing I've ever seen to capturing the entire spirit of the holiday: its history, mood, bittersweet qualities, fun vs tension, warmth vs cold, life vs. death, etc. The spirits move in almost a dance... This piece really has it all! Not an easy task by any stretch. Props!

Artist Reply: Thank you very much for your comment! I am glad you like it. I tried to feel and show the link between the modern Halloween and the Samhain of the ancients. But what i was really thinking about is an autumn evening, a warm fire, dance of shadows in the corners of the room and a good book of old fairytales.

beautiful whispy quality to this like looking through tissue paper.

Artist Reply: Thanks a lot. This is an old work, made a couple of years ago. But I surely will make some more watercolours in this "whispy" way now :)
