Pumpkin spice Painting

Pumpkin Spice Medium: Oil on canvas | Size: 8” x 8” Rich tones of fall colors, impasto and thick brush strokes to render textures and a satin varnish to make the whole piece pop and warm up any living space. Don’t we all love fall colors – there’s something so soothing and cozy about all these warm tones! The Dutch have the perfect word for it – it’s totally “gezellig!” I came across this saying once that said “Autumn shows us how beautiful it is to let things go.” Let’s add a healthy dose of pumpkins to the mix and it’s even more beautiful. The pumpkin may look like a humble, round shape don’t care kind of an entity but in painting it you often realize that just because it looks nonchalant and carefree, it’s way more complicated than that when painting – the grooves, the different colors all merged and shaded together with perfection, there’s beauty and intricacies even in it’s various imperfection – and inspite of all these complexities, it still comes across as easy, simple and warm.
