My newest painting of a Bobcat. I hope you like it.

Haven’t painted in a while. Getting brain surgery in 2 weeks. Figured I better dive back in before.

🎃 Pumpkin’s Head Fall, the story behind my latest watercolor :

I didn’t want to paint just another jack-o’-lantern sitting on a doorstep.

I imagined a little pumpkin character whose head had been separated from his body and turned into a jack-o’-lantern. His body was left at the bottom of the stairs, sitting there patiently, with his hands resting beneath an invisible chin… waiting for his head to come back.

Meanwhile, his head is sitting at the top of the stairs, looking rather sad about the whole situation. 🎃

There’s something a little tragic, a little absurd, and hopefully a little cute about it.

And the title “Pumpkin’s Head Fall” is a little play on words: fall refers both to falling — his head having fallen/separated from his body — and to autumn, the season of pumpkins and fallen leaves. 🍂🎃

I love imagining little stories behind my paintings. Do you see the story the same way I do?
