Painting of a white pumpkin with pink and coral flowers

Autumn Blessings in Bloom

I have two favorite colors.  One is turquoise and the other is coral (a peachy pink).  As autumn-like weather is starting to occur here in East Tennessee, I was inspired to paint a pumpkin and flower arrangement.  I wasn't quite ready to paint an orange pumpkin yet (it is still August after all) but the elegance of a white pumpkin called to me and I referenced some of the flowers in a recent floral arrangement I saw to fill this elegant pumpkin.  

This painting is the result of combining my favorite colors, some of my favorite subject matter (florals) with a seasonal object (pumpkin).  It is different.  Not many pumpkin paintings or pictures have a pink table and a turquoise background, but I like making different combinations.  The orange pumpkin surrounded by sunflowers has been done to death, so I went a different direction.  

This painting, "Autumn Blessings in Bloom" is available as a 9" x 12" canvas print which is a easy to hang on a wall as it is, lean against a wall, or display on a small easel.  If you want to purchase a unique, autumn themed Sherry Joy Art painting, you can click here to learn more details about this little gem.
