Pumpkin and Stoneware

Now we are hurtling through Autumn and the colours are changing by the day, and around here, the fallen leaves are quickly turning to mush. However I found one or two to pair with a pumpkin which survived Hallowe’en and put them with this piece of Stoneware. Yellow Ochre, New Gamboge, Burnt Sienna and a little Sap Green went into the leaves, with a bit of Winsor Violet in the darks.

I was also pleased to rescue a few hips from the broken branches of a hedgerow which had recently been ‘pruned’ by someone in a tractor.
