BY: SUE MARRAZZO

WHEN I WAS RESEARCHING MY SUBJECT...THE PUMPKIN FOR THE DPP NOVEMBER CHALLENGE...I CAME ACROSS THE BLUE PUMPKIN. IT IS AN AUSTRALIAN HEIRLOOM, AND WEIGHS 6 - 10 LBS. I LOVE THE LOOK OF THESE...LOOK BELOW AT WHAT THEY CAN LOOK LIKE.

SO, I TOOK THE CHALLENGE (LATE), AND DECIDED TO MIX IT UP SOMEWHAT! THE PAINTING IS A MIXED MEDIA ONE MADE WITH FOUND PAPERS, ACRYLIC PAINTS, GAC, MEDIUMS, GESSO, AND MORE. IT'S AN ABSTRACT WITH 2 BLUE PUMPKINS. I WAS SO TAKEN WITH THE LOOK OF THE BLUE PUMPKIN...GUESS WHAT I AM GROWING IN THE GARDEN NEXT YEAR?
