Lucy’s eerie-sistable new prints this Halloween!  The haunted holiday will soon be upon us, and Lucy has created two bewitching new art works to celebrate the spooktacular day.  ‘Owl Be Watching You’ sees Lucy’s distinctive clouds surrounding a brilliant moon.   In ‘Got My Eyes on You’ the same moon lights the way for costume-clad trick or treaters. Perched on a gnarled tree branch, the piercing bright eyes of an owl watch over everything.  The owl is one of Lucy’s most recognisable creature-features. To get into the ghoulish spirit, we invite you to have a HOOT this half-term with your little monsters. Visit one of our galleries and go on the hunt to see how many owls and full moons you can find in Lucy’s art works.   We have given...
