Autumn Pumpkin

Oil on Cradled Artists' Board, 6x6x3/4, View eBay Auction Listing

This darling little pumpkin is known as a "tiger strip pumpkin" due to its vivid orange stripes within the natural crevices.  I've definitely got Thanksgiving on my mind!

Pumpkin Posse


Oil on Belgian linen on panel, 6x6--$100--Contact Artist
Since I have little pumpkins scattered throughout my house for the autumn season, I thought I should make use of them in an artistic sense a few times. Happy Hallowe'en!

Candy Apple


Oil on cradled artists' board, 6x6 -- $100--Click to Purchase
Would someone please tell me to keep my grubby hands off my paintings once I've signed them? Hubby hated the original background for this--even though I explained that it looked foggy and, hence, creepy for the upcoming Halloween season. Unfortunately, others agreed with him. (I hate admitting that he may have had a point and spent additional time agonizing over this predicament.)
This effort "breaks up" the gloomy fog" with a simple, diagonal line SLICING THROUGH IT as a knife slices through butter. Can I get more "Halloweenie" than that?

Hitchhikers

I'm in Halloween mode, thanks to a ten-year-old who continues to try on her costume. Here is her witch's hat along with the ever-present candy corn at this time of year.

Candied Apple


Oil on cradled artists panel, 6x6 -- $100--Contact Artist
In honor of childhood memories and Halloween, here is my version of a candied apple. I tried to create that glossy, almost fluorescent surface and think I came pretty close. In addition, dentists of the world should rejoice--this painting is "easier on the teeth."
