Every October, carved pumpkins peer out from porches and doorsteps in the United States. Gourd-like orange fruits inscribed with ghoulish faces and illuminated by candles are a sure sign of Halloween season.  

The practice originated from an Irish myth about a man nicknamed "Stingy Jack." Jack banished from both Heaven and Hell from unsavory deeds was sent to wander the dark night with only a burning coal to light his way.  Jack put the coal into a carved-out turnip and has been roaming the Earth with ever since.

Today Americans found that pumpkins make a perfect jack-o-lantern to be placed at a window or near a door to frighten away "Stingy Jack" and other wandering evil spirits.

Painting has a 1 inch black floater frame. The painting has a wire on the back ready for hanging. Includes a Certificate Of Authenticity with a hidden one of a kind watermark is included.
