Still Life with Pumpkin and Enamelware Plate

 

Still life oil painting of a small pumpkin on an enamelware plate with a brass ladle, a brass firestarter and two earthenware jars
This natural light painting was a bit of a challenge -- I had to find a compromise somewhere between painting the light falling on the pumpkin and maintaining the bright orange colour.  I'm not sure it quite worked, but I wonder if I should have painted this at night instead: if I painted until midnight it might just have turned into a pumpkin.

Oil on canvas board, 16" x 20"
