The yellow pumpkin

De gele pompoen,
oil on board - 40 x 15 cm,
painted on location - Sun 15 Sept 2013
€ 175

We are entering the autumn season, thought it would be appropriate to make such a painting. Was invited by my good friend René PleinAir, to paint on this lovely hobby fruit farm, with fantastic gardens, and a Monumental tower remaining till this day, from a castle that was built in the MiddleAges. Location Gendt, near Nijmegen, an area known for its fruit harvest. This particular pumpkin stock was hanging off a pear tree, as placed there by the estate owner. Isn't Nature the greatest creator of All? What a miracle, this vegetable, from a seed you get all this. Mind boggling  when you think of it.
