Feeling Like Fall

"In the Pumpkin Patch"
NFS

Been enjoying the fall weather and looking for those pumpkins patches.  It's my favorite time of year, especially with the miserable hot summer we've had.  I like the way I handle pumpkins...no knives, no mess to clean up and no rotting pumpkins.   Happy October!

This is lovely painting. The contrast of the oranges against the dark rich background blue works really well. I like it very much.

Fantastic fall painting, love the contrast of the dark background and the light on the pumpkins.
I am not a big fall fan, trying to get in the mood with apples, pumpkins, cider....I just miss summer, shorts and flip flops! Your painting warms me up to the coming of fall!

The lighting on the pumpkins against the dark background is very dramatic. What a beautiful painting.

Wow...terrific values! Love those blue shadows next to the bright oranges. And those curly stems are so great. Awesome job, Kelley!

Gorgeous painting Kelly. I can feel the weight of the pumpkins and that spot of blue in the top left makes the whole thing sing.

This one jumps off the page. I think it's your treatment of the STEMS that is exceptional.
