Fall Pumpkin

oil 10 x 8
The little pumpkins in the store are just so cute. I put this one on the front porch in the sun.
I think now looking at it the pumpkin and edge of screen are to close. Funny when you are painting something you do not see this till you look at it at a later date.

White Pumpkin

I really liked the way this one turned out and decided to enter it along with the Jar of Honey and my Watermelon and salt into the Vicksburg Art Show this past Oct.

Great Pumpkin

16x20 knife

Still working with the knife and I like this one except for the yellow flowers. I did feel like I was under pressure to get it finished and rushed it a little and they look like yuck to me but I like the rest of the painting.

Last Sunday is spent the day reading several blog’s of people I came across by looking at the painting a day blog site. I have to admit to being an internet junkie and have a hard time turning it off. One site leads to another and before I know it, the day is gone or it’s two in the morning. In addition, to learning new things there are a few chuckles along the way. What I’m getting at is I found this site called different strokes for different folks put on by Karin Jurick. Her work by the way is just beautiful at her personal blog.
However, what I like about this site is you have one week to do an interpretation of the picture put forth. Therefore, for my first attempt here are white pumpkins. Please see the link to the side and enjoy all the great work.
