Two Playful Ghosts | Original Mixed Media Painting

Ready to hang

Not all ghosts are meant to be scary.

“Two Playful Ghosts” is an original mixed media painting created using watercolor and acrylic on paper, mounted to a wooden board for display. The composition features two gentle ghost figures—a larger and smaller companion—suggesting a parent and child sharing a quiet moment beneath a glowing tree.

Above them, a twisting black tree stretches across the upper portion of the piece, illuminated from behind by a warm yellow center that radiates outward into soft pink tones. The contrast between the dark branching forms and the luminous background creates a sense of calm atmosphere rather than fear.

Both ghost figures wear soft pink witch-style hats, adding a whimsical, storybook quality to the scene. Rather than haunting, they feel curious, affectionate, and playful.

The piece is finished with a hand-braided hanging ribbon in white and sheer blue, attached to the mounted board for easy display.

Painted on a 16" x 12" composition, this artwork blends gentle fantasy imagery with soft color transitions, designed as a piece of cozy, whimsical wall decor.

About the Work

I create artwork that blends whimsy, color, and everyday storytelling—pieces that bring personality into living spaces.

This painting explores a softer side of ghost imagery, inspired by nursery art and storybook illustration, where even the “spooky” can feel safe, gentle, and full of character.
