Pumpkins From The Pumpkin Patch - Painting by Cheri Wollenberg

Pumpkin Patch Pumpkins

12x12 Oil On Artist Canvas Board

by Artist:  Cheri Wollenberg

Creating autumn paintings give me a great deal of pleasure. I love painting the colors, the shapes, beautiful leaves, harvest themes and weather that autumn brings. This painting features some pumpkins painted from a pumpkin patch using some saved images I have had from previous photo references.   Thought I'd practice before the beautiful gourds and pumpkins make it to the markets this fall. I can't wait to do some more.  You can check this painting out by clicking pumpkins!

Original Oil Painting by Cheri Wollenberg

This small still life painting of a decorative gourd pumpkins were arranged and painted by me a few years back.  I loved setting the arrangement up for a quick study.  The colors are golds, greens, cool whites, oranges and browns.  The perfect image to display for your fall decor.  It comes printed on a variety of products, and you can visit my page on Fine Art America by clicking the link on this page, or you can click the link above and go right to the print.

The leaves are falling here in Fayetteville just like it was already fall.  School has started, the kids are getting on buses everyday in their new school clothes, and there is always excitement in the air about football, new friends, various other things and change.  Changes in the seasons are also exciting.    The stores have changed their decorations themes.  Pumpkins and harvest themes are already being displayed everywhere.  Magazines are beginning to print new recipes and the newest fabrics and fashion trends. Artists are inspired by these changes too.  I am inspired with the colors, textures, and  aromas of new candles.  So I decided to start painting pumpkins and gourds.  I prefer to paint them from life but this one is from a picture.  I took a lot of pictures last fall of various gourds and pumpkins so I may do several while waiting for the first fruits of harvest to show at the neighborhood markets.    This is my first attempt for Autumn 2011.  Click Pumpkin I to go to my Etsy Shop if you would like more information about it.
