A few words, maybe more, from "The Painter of Dark"
![]()
To date, I have successfully completed more than one hundred (and counting) commissioned spooky paintings, nearly all of them of homes very much like
your own!
They're of old homes, new homes, remembered homes, imagined homes, each one complete
with people, pets, witches, seasonal decorations... whatever can be
imagined and
described to me... along with a host of ghosts that I hide in the painting
to delight each viewer. (Small children especially love searching for
them!)
My aim is to amaze and delight each client! (and I haven't failed yet!)
I lovingly paint in every detail of each haunted painting.
I know of no one else who so occupies this little niche specialty I've
created.
I'm Lewis Barrett Lehrman, veteran graphic artist and
illustrator, professional watercolorist, teacher of watercolor and
artistic journaling at the Scottsdale (AZ) Artists' School and elsewhere,
and author of six books on art for artists. For three years, I served as
founding American Editor for International Artist Magazine
and helped to launch that publication over a dozen years ago. These
days, however, you'll find me in my studio most of the time, working on
spooky commissioned paintings, as well as new subjects for The Haunted Studio.
The Haunted Studio came to be, over a decade ago, as the internet was
coming of age. I sold my first prints of a couple of Halloween themed
paintings on eBay. Buyers showed great interest in more paintings, and that was all it took
to get me going.
Not long after I established The Haunted Studio, I received an odd request from a collector of my haunted prints. She asked whether I could create a remembrance of the Halloweens she remembered from her own childhood. I could, and I did, and created my first commissioned spooky Halloween painting.
