That was the premise when Lisa and Mike F. visited me at my studio, bearing a very rough sketch of the painting that was in their imagination. I listened carefully to their instructions, which included a spooky old Victorian house (of my choosing), graveyard on the front lawn, buzzard on the roof, a rickety old wrought iron fence with gate, their six cats plus the ghost of seventh, other elements too numerous to mention here, and -- oh yes -- themselves, as witch and wizard.
This one was fun! Their imagined haunted house, complete with a small army of unspoken spooks, became "Cat Manor." the large haunted painting you see here.
Cat Manor also received many comments from Friends Of The Haunted Studio (people like yourself who enjoy my art) when it appeared as "Commissioned Painting of the Month" in January's Halloweenist.
When I communicated this to Lisa and Mike, they generously permitted me to share their painting, and our collective vision, with you.
"Cat Manor" has been meticulously scanned from the original watercolor and digitally printed with fade-resistant inks on specially treated heavyweight watercolor paper. I personally inspect your print, sign it, slip it into its protective clear plastic envelope, and include with it a page of helpful framing hints from The Haunted Studio.

What Lola and Guinness the wonder cat are
viewing is The Haunted Studio's first What's unique about this print is that it needs no framing, no matting, no glass. It's signed, mounted, wired, and ready to hang, right out of the box! Cat Manor has been digitally printed on specially primed fine weave giclée canvas, protected with a coat of durable satin varnish, then gallery-wrapped around a custom canvas stretcher frame. To make the image wrap around the stretcher, top, bottom, and sides have been digitally extended to cover the 1-1/2" depth of the stretcher. The image on the front measures 17" x 24", identical to my Premiere Edition giclée print. The wrapped edges make it appear even larger! And because there's no glass to come between painting and viewer, the colors are deep, rich and vibrant. The Cat Manor CanvasPrint will be reproduced in a signed, numbered edition limited to 25 ready to hang copies. The price is $285.00, plus shipping charges based on destination. The price of the CanvasPrint is more than offset by the savings from eliminating framing!
