Many enthusiast of Halloween and the Fall season respect the classic folk art that comes with it. One artist has brought painting after painting of those same fall feelings I and others have remembered. Lizzy Rainey has captured all those feelings of my childhood that I have had at one time or another.  (Previous work shown Here)

Lizzy is working on her Sept Oct Premier Halloween Exhibit. She has given The Burning Leaf a sneak peek of a small portion of an enormous painting of a spooky, moonlit, Tangled Tree Forest hosting Trick or Treaters.

Q -  Your paintings seem as if you have poured your heart into the subject matter…Do you have a passion for Halloween and the fall.

Lizzy – I am 48 years old and have 5 siblings with a brother that grew up just one year older than me. My fondest memory of Halloween is simply Trick or Treating with my brother in our costumes with our pumpkin Buckets and that is what my customers mostly ask me to paint for them.One of the memories I love is a picture of myself in my witch costume in the 1960’s.
