Thursday Art Date with Rain -- "Pumpkin Patch"

Here's my contribution to today's art prompt at

I did this "line and wash" ink and watercolours sketch
of pumpkins and gourds a couple of weeks ago
for an art class I'm currently taking.

And here's my fave pumpkins from this year's
jack-o-lantern decoration contest 
done by tenants in my apartment tower
(slacker that I am, I didn't enter a pumpkin) --

A rather stressed-out Minion


A cute wee Pumpkin House,
complete with inhabitants and furniture.

Love the pie cooling on the windowsill!


An awesome carving of a
beloved family pet


Lookin' good, Frankie!


Here's my personal favourite
(and the contest's winner):

The Stanley Pumpkin! 

Its sign says:

OILERS 2025
Play La Bamba, Baby!

HRH the Cat and I want to wish all of you --

Vey fun pumpkin art.

The watercolor of pumpkin and squash is superb. I wish I had half your talent.

Hello Debra, I am afraid that Taiwan has taken your Thursday With Rain theme too seriously--we have been having a terrible storm all day, with trees and large limbs down everywhere.

I'm not trying to flatter, but as much as I love all the carved pumpkins, your pumpkin watercolor is the clear winner. The combinations of shapes and colors, and the almost brighter-than-real intensity of the colors, are perfection.

The pagans had it right, holidays and festivals every 6-7 weeks. Love the pumpkins.

You may not have carved a Jack-o-lantern, but I think your watercolor makes up for it.
