One-Pie Squash (Study)
6 in. x 6 in., acrylic on gallery-wrapped canvas
NFS (Small study for a planned larger painting)
This is indeed, as a friend put it, my childhood in a painting. Or certainly part of it. One-Pie began in New England, in the area called Winslows Falls in Waldoboro, Maine as Medomak Canning Company. They became One-Pie Canning Company and used to pack their squash and pumpkin from their facility in West Paris, Maine. Alas, some outfit in Illinois (Illinois... really???) now cooks and packs their pumpkin (unsure about the squash... and YES, squash pie is DIFFERENT than pumpkin) but it's still distributed from West Paris, Maine. At least that's something. If you're a New Englander, it's One-Pie, baby.
This little study is a first-run before committing to a larger, more precise painting.
