acorn squash 8x10

I did the under-painting for this a couple of days ago and I finished it up this morning. It was a nice way to divide up the labor and unlike some of the things I paint, the subject didn't change appreciably over time.

pumpkin 5.5x7

I'm surprised that I hadn't painted a pumpkin until now. This is one of the really small ones that seem to be all shell. It seems like they're mostly used for decoration. I'm glad it had a nice long stem. I like the cast shadow that the stem makes on the pumpkin. I think it really helps to define the volume.

This is an examole of one more thing that I did not know exixsted before I started this project. I was in the
school garden this morning looking for a subject when I came across the pumpkins. The flowers are very pretty but they close up quickly as the day adavances.

My sister went to see Nick Cave in San Francisco a few days ago and all I got was this strange vegetable! She picked it up in Little Saigon. She liked the colors and thought it would make a nice painting.
