Thursday Art and Dinner Date: πŸ‘€Bewitched πŸ‘€


Welcome my Friends, to Thursday Art and Dinner Date!

🎨For our 🎨 Art Date 🎨, today's optional prompt is Bewitched! Bugs Bunny specifically asked to pose for this prompt, he'll take any opportunity he can to dress up! For those who don't know, I took this idea from the 1970's tv show "Bewitched". 


I was looking at images of the Bewitched intro with this artwork and I sketched approximately where I thought things should be. Then I erased and added Bugs to the drawing. I tried to keep Elizabeth Montgomery's shapely shape but I think Bugs has a bigger booty! 😁


I then uploaded the sketch to my graphics design tablet. I gussied Bugs up and added color and some magic dust with a digital splatter brush! And honestly, I don't think in this lifetime will I EVER be able to freehand draw a circle! My moon is slightly off! (I know, inner critic SHUSH)


Here's the theme song intro to the tv show. For those who watched the show, who was your favorite Darrin? I loved Dick York!


I also wanted to share this lovely bit of music. Ella Fitzgerald singing Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered on the Nat King Cole show in 1957. I absolutely love this song! She sings so beautifully!



For our dinner date, I made some spooky spuds and some petrifying peppers! I wanted to use my skull cakelet tin for something this Halloween, so I stuffed it with some yummy mashed potatoes. I ended up putting them under the broiler to add some color to them. I also baked some peppers, stuffed with a filling of orzo pasta, goat cheese, tomatoes, garlic and olive oil. Here is the recipe for that one, yum! 

By the way, on my home page, I was able to add some tabs, and my recipe index is back up. I had to change all of the links, what a task, but it's all done now! If ever anyone notices a broken link to anything, will you let me know please? ♥



I dressed up my pumpkins very differently this year. The one on the left is my "Starry Night" pumpkin. After gutting it, I poked lots of holes of different sizes in the pumpkin and carved a few stars. I painted it with black acrylic paint and I just love it. The second one, I pulled out a chisel and carved around the bats instead of carving them out. I love this look too!

Here is the video I made for the stuffed peppers!

  1. Rain, I have happy memories of being sick in the mid and late 1970's and watching re-runs of Bewitched while I stayed home.

  3. Your clip reminds me of "Jeanie"! But the TV show I don´t know (living in Germany). Love your spooky food!
    You use the word "broiler"! That is funny! I only learned it when the wall to East Germany fell - they called grilled chicken "Broiler"! Us Wessies at first had no clue! "You want ... what?!" Now everybody calls grilled chicken Broiler!
    Oh, filled peppers is an option, of course! Ingo uses mushrooms, rice and LOADS of cheese.
    Thank you for giving ml/celsius! My plates turned into covers?! (I really do have the lemos on plates!)

  6. Rain, I just harvested the last of my peppers the other day and you've given me an idea of what to do with them for dinner! Using shaped cake pans for mashed potatoes is a clever idea. And I love your pumpkins.

    It's nice to see your YouTube channels growing. Good luck on your streaming art show!

  8. I am so glad you are back with this Art and Dinner Date. I quickly drew a witch for posting. Still cannot figure out how to use my new computer but this gives me a challenge to get something done. Love and envy your art work.

  9. I thought for a twinkle about doing Elizabeth Montgomery but went a different way completely. Your drawing is delightful and reminiscing of this old TV series brings back childhood feel-good vibes. That was a fun program. Your mashed potatoes and peppers are wonderful festive for the season. You're so talented! Thanks for hosting the fun, darlin' Rain. Have a doodletastic afternoon! xo

  10. Your Bewitched artwork is ULTRA FABULOUS! Two of my favourite things on TV when I was a kid were Bugs Bunny and Bewitched, so this is the perfect combination of the two! Plus I love your jack-o-lanterns, so creative (and spooky)!

  11. Your spuds and peppers look fabulous!

  12. I liked Dick York too on Bewitched. I didn’t realize back then that they had made a change in the actors who played the characters, but I think that is true of a lot of people who didn’t realize until they were adults. πŸ˜‚ Bewitched is showing right now on the Facebook reels, so I’ve been watching it this week.

  13. There is so much to love here, but I think my favorite is the Starry Night pumpkin. That's very cool! Nice harvest. I really love your Bugs. Thanks for explaining the technique!
