Thanksgiving




















Thanksgiving

8 in. x 8 in., acrylic on gallery-wrapped canvas

$160 unframed (no frame needed) 

This piece is painted from a #foodpaintchallenge reference courtesy of @dennispfeil.art and @alaiganuza on Instagram. I worked on this through mid-November and finished it up over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend.  The earthy buttercup squash, the papery translucence of the red onion and the bright orange of the heirloom pumpkin wedge against the quiet, dark background perfectly capture the homespun Thanksgiving mood of late autumn in a typical New England kitchen like mine.
