                         Sale still going on!

   Also, here is that Clarice Cliff...which I am now calling done. I've said that before...but after passing it in the studio I am compelled to 'fix' it again. If you google Clarice Cliff ( and I hope you will ) you will see her distinct style which relied on blocks of color. But after a life-time love affair with Van Gogh I feel the need to add some movement with some brush strokes. Then I cover them up. Then I add them again. Mr Pumpkin is consulted relentlessly. He is supportive but noncommittal. 
   I love the giant pumpkin so lets focus on that! How many times have you seen the sunset and knew it was just a giant pumpkin! 
I don't think I've had a painting that has been so difficult for me to call done. The difference between what was in my head...which it turns out I didn't like...and this painting are great. Looking at it now I'm thinking maybe it needs a field of pumpkins in the foreground. What do you think? 
   Look up Clarice and read about her life and be inspired with me!
   Anyway...the sale at Etsy is still going. 25% off at my Etsy store with the coupon code 102014. It ends on the 20th of October. I always mention that I can put an image on a totebag or notecards or postcards or T-shirts as a special order.
