Media: Acrylic on 1/8" Ampersand Gessobord
Size: 6x8 in
On Hold
Fall is pumpkin time and I always paint a few pumpkins every year. I needed something to pull me back into painting again. This years bounty of tiny crabapples was plentiful, the branches on my tree are heavy with them, the blooms this spring were beautiful. I've wanted to paint the crabapples for a long time and pairing them with a pumpkin was a winning combo. Do the birds eat crabapples during the winter I wonder? It would be nice if they weren't wasted. If the branch survives maybe there will be another crabapple painting, the leaves are going fast.
My acrylic paintings are protected by an acrylic satin varnish and I use professional acrylic paints: Winsor Newton, Liquitex and Utrecht. The Ampersand gessobord's are a museum series panel which are acid free, archival. All my paintings are signed, dated with the paintings information on the back.
