"Pumpkin 1"Completed: 9.30.07
oil on canvas board
7" x 5"
I am so excited about this painting. My inspiration from the pumpkin took off from yesterday and I bought all sorts of autumn objects. I have not painted still lifes since about 3 years ago, so I was a little anxious when I started. As I started to lay down the paint, I hated how it was coming out, so I switched to another board and tried a different approach. Instead of diving right in, I did a light skecth with thinned out reddish-orange and that helped me map out my composition.
The only thing I am disappointed about is the picture quality. I am still waiting for my new digital camera, and it is very difficult to get a crisp picture from the camera I'm using now. (I won't be getting my new camera for about another week and half.)
I am so happy I'm exploring still life paainting this week to get back into practice. I hope you enjoy it!
