Acorn Squash12x16" watercolor
A quick watercolor of the acorn squash that Ann so carefully selected from the vegetable area in our supermarket. I had to wait a few days for the sun to come out in order to take a picture of this (12x16 doesn't fit on Ann's scanner). The remnants of T.S. Ida turned into a classic Nor'easter and whacked my sister in Kill Devil Hills and Dad in Va. Beach. So I finally ordered 2 light fixtures and photofloods for picture taking as I should have long ago - the wooly worm says it's going to be a snowy winter!
Ann bought three squash, we ate two and we both did sketches and painting of this third. In this painting I was thinking of color and composition. (That white square thingy in the back ground is a poster my daughter is working on, filling in rivers and other major geographic information as she studies world geography.)

I love the depth of colour and tone you've achieved on this. That poster in the background makes everything else sing. You have such a good eye - I hope to learn from you. ^_~
Nice painting, Gary. I am enthralled with that green glass bottle! I haven't seen one of those in years. You've captured its translucence beautifully!
Love the glass. You have a great touch with glass. The Squash is wonderful. Love the green chair against the purple table and the shadows are awesome. Great painting as always.
I like the composition in this painting very much. Gives one a sense of stability. Very original idea and well done. Silvia
Oh, how nice to paint with your spouse! Ann is such a sweetheart, too, Gary! (My husband creates art with metal, i.e., restores classic cars, so our artistic visions don't line up the same).
I did see Ann's squash, and it's great to see how you both came up with different points of view. I am enthralled with glasswork in this.
Great composition and palette! This must have been fun sharing the project with your wife! Your daughter must have the "art genes" too! What a creative family! I feel like I could reach into the monitor and pick up that squash!
