White pumpkin 8"x8" gallery wrap


I bought a white pumpkin at the produce market for Thanksgiving and just had to paint it. When it was not in the light all of the shadows were green and the pumpkin had a blue green tint to it. Under the light it became this color, I am going to try again without the light, but a cool pumpkin? The size of this is 8"x8" gallery wrap so it does not need to be framed. If you would like to purchase this painting email me at phyljan@aol.com for the details. It is 50.00 with shipping added.

Landscape Oak trees 9"x12" pastel


I am trying to learn something new. Not sure what yet. I am using pastels, to see if they will be easier to take with me when I go someplace to paint. at first I thought they would but now I am not so sure. Anyway I am working with them and I am for sure learning more about color and value. Learning to see more and better. Still life is the easiest way for me right now. In landscape the light is always changing and so then so is the color and value. On a still life it stays the same, and only I change from day to day.
