Aha!! , a hungry pastel painting, I can imagine your stomach rumbling at the same time Deb… Love the bright Orange colour shining out from the greens… (and makes a change for me to be first commenter 😀 ) xPenx

Yes, and pie it became…lol
I had not ever attempted something like this before and thought I’d give my hand a try at it. Turned out better than I expected it would.
Yes, tt is unusual for you to be here first. I think mostly I post late in the evening when you are asleep.
It’s my pleasure to see you here first.
Thanks for commenting, Pen!

The bright orange of pumpkins is always so inviting and so nice this time of year. You’ve captured its pumpkiness very well.

Orange seem to be a landmark color for this time of year, huh.
Thank you for you comment, Binky!

You must treat yourself to a slice of it…Put whip cream on the top if you like extra sweetness.
Thanks for commenting, Novroz!

Cooool. You know I love bright colors and oil pastels. Really great job. Especially all the little green parts surrounding the pumpkin. Green and orange= awesome combination 🙂

I hope the cravings of Pumpkin Pie didn’t stop you from painting this one Deb, I mean before it was finally completed… Of course I can just see you chewing away whilst adding the final touches to this one 🙂

Well I don’t carve pumpkin pie…I bake it. Clearly I painted it before hand.
Didn’t eat any of it….too many calories.

I started a pumpkin heavy metal song.
Pumpkin pie! Pumpkin pie!
Die pumpkin die!
Oh… I broke a string.
Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown!

Curtis, how can you find such anger in pumpkins? You even broke a string…

  All in the pursuit of humor I guess. I’ve seen some pretty angry pumpkins in the way of Jack-O-Lanterns though too.

Have Andro order a slice and you can have just one bite….so you’ll know what it tastes like….Best served warm…at least I think so.
Glad you like the painting, Jen and thanks for commenting!

I’ve never tried pumpkin pie. I am a lover of pumpkin soup though. I recently came across an anti-pumpkin post. http://blurtblog.net/2011/10/07/damn-you-pumpkin/ My wife can’t say pumpkin, she calls it punkin

Debbie Adams on October 12, 2011 at 4:42 pm said:

Really! And I’ve never tried pumpkin soup, but I think I will this year.
Maybe if you can just get your wife to say” pump” for awhile then tell her to add the “kin” to it, she’ll get the hang of it. But on the other hand, punkin is rather cute.
Thanks for the link, I enjoyed the read.

A perfect pumpkin, It does look good enough to eat! No wonder it had you wanting pumpkin pie. It’s the season for it though, I’ve never tried making one from scratch yet, usually I just get them from a bakery, but home made would probably be amazing….maybe i’ll try it this fall.
Big hugs,
Nikki

Homemade is the best if you can get it done, Nikki. Of course my pumpkin pies come from the bakery too…they do a good job and it’s much easier than making from scratch…unless you got the time.
Thanks for the comment, Nikki!

Now I’m craving pumpkin pie, too!
But I’ll happily put up with that… because this is another wonderful piece, Ms. A!
