Falling Into Winter is the name of an upcoming juried show at Exeter’s Courthouse Gallery and Museum. I have many pieces that fit the theme, but most are colored pencil and need framing. This would probably be a poor monetary decision, knowing that oil paintings sell better than pencil or colored pencil drawings.
Pumpkins are a fun subject, and people like them. They also like to make fun of pumpkin spice, but secretly love it.
These are plain pumpkins, not spiced up. I painted them on a 6×12″ canvas in order to keep the price low enough to tempt an impulse buyer.
They went on the canvas quickly, but this isn’t good enough yet.
Better.
A little more detailing.
Finally, I wrapped the pumpkins and background color around the edges and signed the painting.
HEY! I think I will call the painting “Unspiced”.
Now, if I only had a pumpkin spice latte, all would feel complete in my little world.
NEWS FLASH: Cold brew pumpkin spice from the big S coffee store is muy fabuloso. (Nope, not gonna advertise for them here. . . you can probably figure out who I am talking about.)
