Pumpkin

Drawn Tuesday, from life.

Pastel and ink over Tombow marker,
on 12" x 16" watercolor paper.

  1. Drawn from life? Give me a minute to get my head around this...

  2. You are branching out. Body parts in the sheets. Very interesting--very surreal. I like both drawings because they do demand "getting one's head around this."

  3. Wonderful... Charmed by the pumpkin. A nice touch.

  4. A fun perception thing for me here. The blue-purple vertical form looks almost as much like a human (or ape, or dog, or E.T.) as the more obvious prone figure. Remember Thoreau's line? "I'd rather sit on a pumpkin and have it all to myself than be crowded on a velvet cushion." Me too.

  5. A very unusual angle, but interesting and excellently done !

  6. Okay, AH, maybe "drawn from life and imagination" is more accurate, though kind of nitpicking.

    It would be one honking big pumpkin or one very petite model.

    Didn't know there was a pumpkin until after I drew it.

  7. Thanks, all.

    Banjo, I see that form too. Strongly and weirdly.

    PA, that's what I was thinking of as it developed, but not enough to make it a clear picture. And now I like the creepy indeterminate aspect.

  8. The original title was "cascade" but once I saw the pumpkin, the cascade became more of an umbilical cord between pumpkin and plant.

  9. Well, I thought "the princess and the pea with cascading hair", but pumpkin makes for and even greater fairy tale :-)
