Pumpkins, Chickens, and Fort Churchill

I'm really looking forward to autumn and it is my favorite season to illustrate.  Pumpkins are my favorite because of their odd shapes and bright orange color and the white of the ghost pumpkin.  This painting was inspired by the pumpkins our local farmer's market Lattin Farms has each year.   

This painting was inspired by some hens I saw in Hazen one morning.  If you 

happen to be in our Fallon, Nevada area you'll drive by Hazen on the way to Reno.  They filmed part of a movie in Hazen called "Kill Me Again" starring Val Kilmer.

Nice to visit in autumn when the colors of the desert plants are nice and bright.
