After Richard Faust

   Which is the correct way of saying his work is the backbone of this painting. If you google Richard Faust, and I hope you will, you will recognize his whimsical flowers as the foundation of this work. He resists using pumpkins in his work. Although I cannot imagine why...they lend themselves perfectly to his style. But anyway, he is a very talented artist and illustrator and his work charms me. I am delighted to have found his work on-line.
   We Pumpkins live in something of an art desert and without the internet we would be completely out of the art loop. I would be forced to only use the classic as inspiration. But as pumpkins have no arms I already halfway to the Venus de Milo. 
   Anyway, the Pumpkins planned a date day in the neighboring state to view an exhibit at an art museum we had never visited. Starting off with lattes in hand we followed the GPS to what it assured us was our destination. We were dismayed to find it was the blood bank. Officially the worst date destination ever. I refused to get out.  And shockingly none of the people loitering in the area  had ever heard of a museum. Or even art. Reverting to the stone-age  we roamed around town and enjoyed the beautiful fall scenery. 
   But then we stumbled upon the building and we delighted to spend a pleasant hour soaking up the good stuff. I was delighted Mr Pumpkin was such a good sport and even got a nice lunch out. That's a good art day. Now it's back to the studio where I am working on a pumpkin nude...don't be shocked!
