Australian Blue Pumpkin

Purchase Information

"When the frost is on the punkin and the fodder's in the shock,
And you hear the kyouck and gobble of the struttin' turkey-cock,
And the clackin' of the guineys, and the cluckin' of the hens, 
And the rooster's hallylooyer as he tiptoes on the fence; 
O, it's then's the times a feller is a-feelin' at his best, 
With the risin' sun to greet him from a night of peaceful rest,
As he leaves the house, bareheaded, and goes out to feed the stock,
When the frost is on the punkin and the fodder's in the shock."

--James Whitcomb Riley

Striped Pumpkin

Oil on Belgian Linen Panel
6x6

Here's another little charmer.  This pumpkin has, miraculously, survived on my desk for the past year.  It's time on this planet is limited, though.  Before saying "goodbye" and adding it to the compost bin, I chose to immortalize my little bulbous friend.  You made me smile!

Pumpkin Stem

Oil on Belgian Linen Panel
6x6

It may be near 100 degrees in central Texas, but I've already begun my autumn decorating.  You can take the girl out of New England, but you can't take New England out of the girl!  

Pumpkins should arrive in a few weeks, but why wait?  This little charmer won't get mushy!

Pumpkin Pie


Oil on cradled artists' board, 6x6--$100--Contact Artist
This is probably my favorite daily oil painting thus far! Every pumpkin I've ever attempted with acrylics found its way into the trash. This is a keeper and will be used for the month of November in my 2010 calendar! I'm especially pleased with the pie plate--those undulating edges were a huge challenge to draw free-hand.
