Pumpkins as models

Pumpkins are one of my favorite subjects for my work. I love pumpinks! Their variety in colors, textures and shapes are really beautiful. Hier are some dry pumpkins that were models for my paintings, drawings and linocuts. Sometimes it happens that some pumpinks dry in place from rot and so they remained intact but their colors changed.

Sketchbook with pumpinks that I use for some drawings in 2009. In Flickr are two of these drawings of 2010 : Birds and Pumpkins I and Birds and Pumpinks VII.

I also made a little leporello book with a story about a dreamy pumpkin (see hier below) and another book with a linocut On the windowsill watching the clouds.
