Fall Pumpkins by Christine Marx


I am so excited by the appearance of pumpkins and gourds and mums at all of the local farm stands and grocery stores. I found these beautiful white pumpkins last week at my local farm stand and was amazed by how many different colors are actually in a white pumpkin...it's very little white. These were loads of fun to paint and I hope you like them!

Nice arrangement and beautifully painted.

Christine Marx said...

Thank you so much! After setting up really intricate, intense still lifes I always get amazed at how just a simple arrangement with vegetables or fruit can have a big impact.

I really appreciate the kind comments...they keep me painting!
