MIDNIGHT FORTUNE

Limited Edition Halloween Art Print from an Original Fantasy Art Painting

Titled Midnight Fortune, this whimsical Halloween-themed limited edition art print draws inspiration from a vintage All Hallow’s Eve postcard. The artwork reimagines the old-world superstition that foretold one’s fortune by pulling a beet—or turnip—from the ground at the stroke of midnight. A plump beet meant prosperity and good luck, while a skinny one hinted at a year of modest means. Before pumpkins became the hallmark of Halloween, these humble root vegetables—carved and lit with candles—were the true lanterns of the Old World.

In this charming rendition, a lovely witch tugs at a massive round beet under the silvery glow of the full moon, ensuring good fortune for the coming year. Around her, three winged garden goblins flutter excitedly, and a curious owl peeks from her hollow in an ancient oak tree. The warm palette of autumn reds, golden browns, and twilight blues evokes a nostalgic yet magical atmosphere. Midnight Fortune captures the enchantment of Halloween’s origins—where folklore, harvest, and a touch of whimsy come together in perfect harmony.
