Half way through the painting, the tall butternut squash fell over, onto the floor. Trying to place it back in the right spot was a bit frustrating. But, after about ten minuets I figured I had fussed over it long enough and called it good. It teetered a few times after that, and I ended up wedging paper under one side for stabilization. The strange thing is that it stood up all night and then right in the middle of its portrait it decides to take a bow.

I just found your blog. I love your brushwork and your commitment to doing one painting a day. Thanks for posting all of these.
Hi Aaron,
This is fabulous. Wonderful colour and composition. I think it did the right thing falling over.
I wish you and your family and friends a very happy holiday and joyous New year.
Take care,
Barbara
I thoroughly enjoy your paintings! The looseness and especially the color choices. Thanks for sharing!
What an uppity squash.
Beautiful abstract perspective and slamming color harmony!
I flagged you with Empty Easel, hope you don't mind.
