Announcing the Winners of the Halloween Window Painting Contest

Scarsdale’s young artists could not have asked for a better day for Halloween window painting. Sunday was sunny, dry and the perfect temperature to paint en plein air and to enjoying a fall Sunday outside. Painters turned out in force to participate in this Scarsdale tradition -- displaying artistic talent and wit. We saw some burgeoning artists and some humorous political punsters who used the upcoming election as subject matter for their entries. Here are just a few of the great lines we saw:

Obooma vs. Mit Zombie

Keep Calm and Scary On

Die Phone

I mustache you a question … are you scare of my ghostee?

Pictured at right is contest Grand Prize winner Maggie O’Keefe who painted a window at Daniele Trissi Jewelers.

Below is our gallery of young artists in the village – as well as the official winner’s list from the Scarsdale Recreation Department. The awards ceremony will take pace on Wednesday night November 7 in the Quaker Ridge School auditorium. Did you see a clever window? Send a photo to scarsdalecomments@gmail.com and we will post it.
