It's a good time of year for making pictures of squashes... and the Lego minifigures are, it seems, very popular.Amanda Bateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16911674615433964697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4633904073378886404.post-18842655426890789272011-10-19T19:13:51.560+01:002011-10-19T19:13:51.560+01:00Beautiful!

It's quite scarred, from contact with the ground - I painted that by lifting the knife away from the canvas, creating a spikey effect that I think captures the roughness of the scar quite well, As it happens, the pumpkin itself is about 21 cm tall (and just a little broader); not much bigger than the canvas itself.Amanda Bateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16911674615433964697noreply@blogger.com
