Ode To Jim HensonThere's a Rainbow connection
When a puppetter of imagination
That came once upon a time
Who brought something marvelous

He brought with him something amazing
It began with Sesame Street
Big Bird and Elmo making kids smile
As they and their friends educate them

Then came the biggest show
To ever hit the tv screens
The Muppets make their debut
As they become a smashing hit

Storyteller of fairy tales
To the Jim Henson Hour
Wubbulous World of Dr. Seuss
Even Fraggle Rock

To a Elfling on a quest
In search of the Dark Crystal
To return what was lost
Make two races into one

Labryinth with David Bowie
Sparked our imagination

Anjelica Huston in The Witchesby ~Caricature80

Fan Art / Traditional Art / Paintings / Movies & TV

As a child I absolutely loved The Witches. Both the original book and film adaptation are superb. I blame a lot of my dark sense of humor from reading Roald's Dahl's fantastic books as a kid. Watercolor on illustration board. 14x19 inches.

This painting is absolutely gorgeous. Your technique perfectly fits the tone of the movie.

I read a ton of Roald Dahl books when I was younger. I remeber that after I had read "The Witches" I was at the public library just looking for a movie to watch. And then I passed by this film that said "The Witches" and thought, Wait, as in the book I just read? They made a movie about it? OH MY GOSH I HAVE TO SEE THIS. It really is a great film, and I simply love Anjelica Huston. Well done!

Ha, thank you so very much! Great to meet someone else who grew up reading the Dahl books. I can partially credit my dark sense of humor from reading his books. I actually had a reverse experience about The Witches. I saw the film first and was in the book store and saw the title on the shelf and had to buy it! I think I read it in a day and a half. I couldn't put it down. I wasn't much of a reader growing up, and I'm still not really, but I did read almost all of the Dahl books and enjoyed the film adaptations. Thanks again for the compliments on my work! It's very appreciated!

Thank you!! One of my favorite films.

I love this! She looks hideous, but beautifully hideous x) I saw the movie as a kid and was completely freaked out by the girl growing old in the painting...

~Caricature80 Jan 19, 2012 Professional Traditional Artist

Thank you so much! That kid is the painting was very creepy. I like how she found one in a painting in the lobby of the hotel to "extinguish". In the book there are several other scenarios of how the witches get children besides enchanting them into the paintings. It's a great read if you haven't checked it out before.

I finally read the book a few years ago but it's still the film that I remember more clearly since I grew up with it. They're both twisted though xD Thanks for watching me by the way
