Some scary witches there Lewis. The one top right ( not quite so scary) reminds me of Miriam Margolyes!

What a superb rogue gallery Lew each one is superb in it own way . I agree Halloween is use a big money maker with no British tradition.

A great group of oldies!

Is it our age? I, too, am completely turned off by all the rubbish churned out at Hallowe’en. Now your witches are a different thing altogether - the stuff of fairytales. Christine’s right about Miriam.

Excellent work Lewis. Spooky looking women.

Thank you for your comments. Odd that a couple think the top right looks like Miriam Margolyes, I'm not seeing that. She's straight out of my head, and I don't dream about that actress.

It must be our age. I see the tacky decorations on houses and wonder why anyone would cover their property in landfill. Altogether agree with you about the witches tho Lew. Great stuff!!

Super characters Lewis. Love the one with the frog.

A superb collection of spooky pictures, all skillfully drawn.

Great stuff again, Lewis. Which one is me???

Super collection Lewis.

Great selection of witches! Love the one middle left, working her magic on the frog.

All absolutely brilliant Lewis. It's so easy to imagine them featuring in a book or on screen.

I’ve been waiting for this Lewis……fabulous collection of witches…..love them all. Halloween isn’t the same, no imagination ……it’s all tat, Guising is still a tradition here. The spiritual and Celtic/Gaelic association to the time of year has been watered down so much, I remember getting two days off school for All Souls’ Day and All Saints day…..wonder if that still applies? I celebrate in my own way but I still like a good fright!

All very different and such a variety of images. Don’t know how you do it Lewis. Brilliant.

Always a pleasure view your work, Lewis. I do like the witch, bottom left, a lady on a mission . . .

A great coven of witches. Fantastic detail on each and every one.

It really is a great collection Lewis. I can't make up my mind witch one I like best!

As much as I like myth and folklore, I'm not taken with the Halloween thing. It's a money-maker imported from American. But I do like drawing witches, the witches of fantasy...not the supposed witches of real life. I've drawn a lot over the years. As I'm not getting much done, I thought I'd do a compilation of a few of these 'oldies', most of which have been posted.

About the Artist

Lewis Cooper

Self taught. Love drawing. Like to make pictures up, without using reference pics, often in cartoon style. I do other pictures where I do use reference. I'm knocking on a bit, born in 1940 in Greenwich, London. Retired, and loving it.
