Celebrate Fall Through Painting Pumpkins

Fall is in the air and time to embrace the changing of seasons. God has a magnificent way of expressing His exquisite artistry through the painting of fall leaves from green to a brilliant array of colors. Another sign of fall are fields of pumpkins. They come in many shapes and sizes.

I am a lover of all the color changes in fall. They are a sign that the year is winding down and the rest of winter coming. This year I decided to immerse myself in learning to paint pumpkins. I searched several tutorials to facilitate me on this endeavor. I would like to share these with you along with a showing of my artistic efforts. My husband even joined me for one session! He does not consider himself an artist, but he has many expressive artistic abilities. Sometimes God surprises us with His hand on ours as we co-create together. You never know what he will do if you give Him a chance.

I hope you find time to do some creating with the Master Artist, too. All of the examples for this article were done in acrylics.

Below you will find the links for the tutorials under each picture.
