This a painting I did as a birthday card for my boyfriend – dressed as the Queen of Mars. Look out Maira Kalman! He and I and a group of friends take Halloween VERY seriously, beginning summit talks on our annual theme usually sometime in August. This was part of an all-red  year.

(I was Hester Prynne. You can’t really see it in this photo but I had straw all tangled in my hair)

Here we are as “Bond Girls” from quite a few years ago, a card for our 10th anniversary last April. They tried to convince me not to go out dressed only in a towel, but I was in luck – it turned out to be unseasonably warm and I was quite comfortable!  Love you, babe! Thanks for ten years of ‘martial bliss’!
