The Joy of Painting

  The ideas of pumpkins appearing in artwork flow through my head. And the days I spend with my paintbrush in my hand are great days. I always feel the push/pull of what's in my head and how I can get it on the canvas.

   But the days I spend photographing my items for sell are pure torture! 

My nephew Josh has a Masters' degree in photojournalism, and while I am so very proud, I am astounded that anyone would enjoy the dang camera so much. The camera and I do the dance of 'oh please...please...please cooperate'! Mr. Pumpkin had a very good digital SLR collecting dust in the closet and I thought I could tame it...hah! 

   Well, here is the result of a photo session to get these tote bags up on Etsy and make them look as great as they do in 'real life'. I have fallen in love with how my art looks on a bag, and I wish I could put every painting on one. I also hope someone will buy them so I can afford to put more paintings on bags! 

Check me out on Etsy, my shop name is pumpkinsatplay.

Thanks for stopping by to play!
