Flyer with Pumpkins

Flyer with Pumpkins – Plein Air – Oil on Linen Panel – 8″ x 10″

Had a nice harvest of pumpkins from the garden. I decided to use an old wagon to create this still life. I improvised the background to create more interest. As I set up and started to paint, I realized that our dog was at our back door. He was barking and I took that as a message that he wanted to come out and join me outside.

Our dog, Clawed Monet (sic), generally likes to relax underneath a tree to the north end of our yard. Today, however, he decided to lay down and relax in front of my set up. An artists version of a photo bomb.
