Painting Pumpkins.
Lest you think I just skipped over Autumn and Pumpkin time to Christmas from my last post, know I have pumpkin on the brain!
Last weekend, when I found some time to spend in my art studio, I painted the below painting first….
I thought it was “Mehhh…”
Then I let loose and painted the first one.
Simple….
but powerful
and satisfying.
This is my favorite way to paint.
Let loose!
Express yourself…
in bold, but simple ways.
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi


Your meh is my wow. ๐

Great water colour, Jodi! I like the part of your poem where you said: Express yourselfโฆ
in bold, but simple ways. That is a good word for all of us, even for those who don’t paint.

I have often said, I’ve never met a pumpkin that I didn’t love…I still haven’t! I love both of these fantabulous pumpkin paintings and without a doubt, Benjamin will too! I was gifted with the best T-shirt last year, it has a humongous pumpkin imprinted with “Advice from a Pumpkin : Be well-rounded, Get plenty of sunshine, Have a thick skin, Keep growing, Be outstanding in your field, Think BIG!” Great advice from the pumpkin and YOU! Thank-you!
