opposites

The Monday Artday challenge word this week is "opposites".
tinka-tinka-tee!
Bewitched's Samantha Stephens was a typical late-1960's housewife. She was demure and straight-laced. She had a loving husband, Darrin, a hothead who was incompetent in his job. She had an adorable daughter who followed in her mom's footsteps and an infant son. Her mother, Endora, who was estranged from her father, disliked Darrin. Oh, and Samantha was a witch.
Samantha had a cousin Serena. Except for her dark hair and heart-shaped birthmark, Serena was Samantha's identical twin. However, they were total opposites. Serena was a wild, free-spirit hippie with an affinity for psychedelic miniskirts. She kept company with prankster Uncle Arthur and she loved rock and roll music, once teaming with 60's singers Boyce and Hart. Oh, Serena was a witch, too.

Although popular for eight seasons, Bewitched met its demise at the hands of a more progressive show - All in The Family. Sadly, Elizabeth Montgomery, the actress who played Samantha, passed away on May 18, 1995. Pandora Spocks, the actress who played Serena, passed away at the exact same time.

Opposites


While quite opposite in taste, there comes a time in life
when some women crave the two extremes together.

This was my original post for IF. However, since mother and baby are opposite from each other, I think it works for this week's theme here too.

Woofy and Mittens on the Naughty Step (Opposites)


I painted Woofy and Mittens as a set; I think they make a nice fit for this week's category: Opposites. Original Woofy and Mittens belonged to my sister, Judy and I when we were babies. They are made from some thick, nuclear disaster-resistent rubbery plastic. From a child's perspective, an empty bottle of heavy duty detergent might make for a more suitable plaything. I can't imagine we actually ever amused ourselves with this dog and cat combo, but we must have because Mittens' eye has been busted shut for as long as I can remember, and they both have ink all over their faces (I blame myself.) I'll admit, Woofy and Mittens are a spooky looking heirloom, but I really like them. They are, without a doubt, part of my life's rich pageant.
