Hansel & Gretel

October 30, 2018

Hansel & Gretel

Getting into that spooky, Halloween mood with this classic from the Brothers Grimm. They sure know their stuff when it comes to these types of stories, and I love them dearly for it!! Vegan Caramel Apples, here I come!

and…

Of all the things in this painting that I love:

  • A ginormous witch with the most spindly, bony arms

  • & that expression on the gingerbread man’s face.

It’s enough to make an artist proud, for sure.
