How could I possibly resist painting those giant pumpkins?!! I have not seen them this big in all the years I've been coming to this patch in Barnhill, Illinois. It sprinkled a few times during the painting process, and I moved back under the cover of a concession stand, moving back out when it stopped. Once I have oils on my whole panel, then it is fine to stand out in the rain. But if the dry panel gets wet - it will resist that oil paint, stopping it from adhering to the panel. The rainy day wad the perfect backdrop for those rich, saturated colors It feels like fall now that I've painted Shreve's Pumpkin Patch! Painting number 5013 in 5013 days.
