STORY AND POEM FOR 'WITCH'S APPRENTICE' -
The little troll witch left the cat and her crow looking at the cauldron that was simmering nicely after her spells had been cast. She was making skull, eyeball, and pumpkin stew, a tasty little witch's brew, that she was going to enjoy on her return from her travels scaring everyone on Halloween night.
She never imagined that one bored cat would decide to borrow her Sunday hat and proceed in casting his own spells that Halloween night!! Read on my friends ...
'So it happened one halloween night
that one little cat had quite a fright
after reading the witch's cookery spell book,
he decided that yes he thought he could cook!
In the cauldron were skulls, eyeballs, and pumpkin
but the cat and the crow saw nothing was happening!
So our little cat decided to cast a few spells
the witch's staff he enchanted to stir the stew well.
Round and round it stirred food that night
but then, oh dear! it did not look right!
The witch returned, saw her cat, and then sighed,
funny she thought that he was transfixed by escaped eyes!
They popped and bounced trying to leave that stew,
so the witch cast a spell which was the best thing to do.
A lesson was learnt that night by one silly cat,
that in future he would not interfere, and that was that ...HAPPY HALLOWEEN SEASON MY FRIENDS.
MY ACCIDENT NEWS AND APOLOGIES ...
So sorry I have not been around for a couple of weeks to visit your galleries, but I had an accident!
I was on the phone with my daughter when my office chair which is supposed to tilt back and stop, kept going and I crashed my head on the edge of a small cupboard as I fell with the chair to the ground.
My daughter and my son in law rushed around to my house and I was still on the floor with 5 worried pets looking down on me, and they had never left my side in that time.
I felt quite ill so an ambulance was called the paramedics decided to take me to hospital. I was diagnosed with concussion but allowed home because my daughter was going to sleep over with me. Unfortunately the doctors found I had a heart murmur to add to the other stuff wrong with me (ok so I am greedy lol).
So I have been feeling poorly for a couple of weeks, but also awaiting a new office chair so that I can sit at my computer in some comfort.
My daughter as always has been an angel, and she and my wonderful son in law went to get me my new chair yesterday, so here I am back with you all, and I did miss you so much.

Oh Jane! this is spectacular, adorable, stunning, sweet, fabulous and just plain purrrrfect! The background you painted is beyond belief! It is utterly fabulous! Your work has grown in leaps and bounds since you got the new program! You could paint and sell the bckgrnds! That's how good I think it is. Schonee's ceiling fits perfectly. The story from "Witch's Apprentice" is adorable and fits your image perfectly. I am so glad you are doing so much better, and when I heard you had taken that fall, I was afraid you'd had a concussion. I'm so glad your daughter was on the phone with you, and that she stayed the night so you could come home from hospital. Hugs

This scene certainly is cute, and gets us in the mood for the big Halloween, and the night time visits of our little Halloween trick-or-treaters.

What a disaster ... I hope you're doing much better now and the new office chair serves you well. Marvelous image. I love everything about it especially the bewitching kitty. Superb! And have a Happy Halloween!

This time again the magic of your words and images is there Dear Jane. The background that you have created is beautiful... You master your "tools" perfectly and it is obvious. It is also very representative of British artwork and illustrations. It is also what I love in your style because it is unique. I love the poem that you have written and this time it is a funny poem. As always it does reflect your natural thoughtfulness and sweetness. Your world is full of creatures but the most important characters are always kind and they always win for our greatest pleasure. :) It is always a personal pleasure to see images of your beautiful pets because as you know they are also our friends. Thanks to you and to your storyteller talents. It is really a very nice artwork for the Halloween season. ;) I hope that you will feel better very soon because what you went through was not pleasant at all. I am sorry that you had that accident and that you had to go to the hospital. But what you tell with your pets around you to comfort you does show that they love you and that they are loyal friends. I am sure that they were really worried for you. I am happy that your daughter and brother in law were there to help you because the consequences of such accidents are sometimes tragic. But you are back and we are all happy... :) Thank you again for sharing your wonderful and comforting art with us. And thank you very much for driving our minds away from real life each time we discover a new creation of yours. You are indispensable Dear Jane! :) Your friend, Philippe

Molto dispiaciuto per il tuo incidente ! Spero che ora tu abbia superato il malanno e tu stia veramente bene ! Very sorry about your accident! I hope that now you have passed the illness and you're really good! Immagine super bella e divertente ! In fondo anche i gatti hanno il diritto di festeggiare Halloween a modo loro !Molto piacevole il racconto. Image super nice and funny! In the end even the cats have the right to celebrate Halloween in their own way! Very enjoyable story. All the best for you , dear Jane , hugs !!

Jane, I'm so sorry to hear you got hurt. Glad to hear you were able to get assistance in such short order, head injuries are not to be trifled with. I'm also glad to know you are recovering. These things just happens it seems, my sister was in a minor accident just last week, just a sprain in her case though. I love this rendering. The cat looks so perplexed by what he has done. Yet, he seems determined to not be intimidated by this horrid manifestation emerging from the coldrone. Even if it turns out to be bigger than him. Take care.

One of your best Jane, and thats saying a lot so much detail to this one.

I am very behind on everything of late. I'm so sorry to hear of your accident, but glad that you are better and that your loved ones (furry and otherwise) were there for you. My best wishes for a speedy and complete recovery. Excellent image and poem! I love the eyes escaping from the pot and the silly cat staring at them! Wonderful composition, and light! Lovely rays of light coming through the bars and shadows of the lamps. Beautiful background with lovely design, textures, and details.

I don't know how I missed this beautiful work but I didn't get the email. Anyway it is a delightful image with the very cute little witch and your super capture of your little Freddie. I'm really sorry to hear of your nasty accident but glad that you are all right again and you were lucky your daughter was close to help you. Take care, Hugs.

Oh my Jane, take care dear - a concussion is no minor thing you know. Still, I'm glad to see you feeling better, creating wonderful art, as always. Happy Halloween and lots of hugs! :-)

What a marvelous story and scene! Definitely magical render and work. I am so glad that you are ok and hope that you get better soon. Hope you will enjoy your new chair!

Another wonderful scene!

My god, I view all the images I miss when I'm absent but I don't always read the texts until I actually comment. I only read this today, and I'm so sorry you had an accident, and such a scare, and went through so much in its aftermath. I genuinely didn't read everything (I stopped after "happy halloween")--mea culpa, Jane! I know too that you have a birthday coming up & I'll send you something as I did last year (if I'm unable to be online). (I may be late, but you'll get something. I'm doing birthdays almost exclusively offline right now, because of the weeks I've been offline.) Sorry your birthday has to come at such a time! But I'm glad you're ok now, and hope you don't have residual pain, headaches, etc. (I've had concussion, I know how it can feel. I'm glad your family came to your rescue, and that your pets stayed by your side the whole time. Animals do that instinctively...) Your image is a sheer delight: The girl/witch is just delightful, both in her outfit and her curls; she has an almost doll-like presence. Freddie is beautifully lit (and seamlessly sitting in the scene as all your pets do, in your art). That beautiful green-eyed creature in the cauldron is just luminous, playful and perfect; your other details & objects are beautiful, scattered throughout the image & melded into the whole via a warm dark brownish patina. Even the cobwebs & mist through the window are more magical than 'scary'. (Though they're scary in the sweetest sense, like a child's holiday.) And it's all framed by delightful cobwebs atop. A real fairy tale image, and a real delight; and one of your many beautiful holiday images, Jane. I will write to you soon. You mentioned my music a little while back...with the events of this year, I haven't done any music in months. But I have files here, and one of these days I'll get them together and make them available to you if you wish. In the meantime, I wish you a healing month, much peace & blessings, and apologize for my absences; please know they've been to everyone, across the board. And I truly hope your healing is going well. Many blessings your way & thanks for another charmed, magical, seamless and beautiful image. Heal to the core! mark
