The World's First Pumpkin Artists?

Last week's pumpkin primping & painting was a unique activity for me and my friend - or indeed for anyone! For my part, as I got more into it, I started to create artworks rather than characters...Can we claim the distinction of being the first pumpkin artists in the Universe?!!

Posting the rest of the piccies now. Enjoy!








Above we have Belly Dancing Pumpkin, Alien Pumpkin, Clown Pumpkin, Monster of the Deep Pumpkin, French Impressionist Pumpkin & After Turner Pumpkin.

My favourite of these is the last one - After Turner Pumpkin - because it reminds me of a Turner painting. It was bought by someone who was house-sitting a place full of original artworks, with the same colour scheme. They had left her a whole pumpkin to consume - so she replaced it with one that doubled as an original artwork as well!

PS: We made about $70 from 12 dressed pumpkins and a few 'naked' ones. Maybe not such efficient fundraising, but an irreplaceable experience and process...possibly making us the first pumpkin artists in history - at least on this planet!!
