Our first "Fall Themed" paintsite found the group returning, after several years absence, to Half Moon Bay - The Pumpkin Capital of the World - to paint, what else, pumpkins! Of course there were also pony rides, hay and train rides, a petting zoo, and almost as many children as pumpkins.

The pumpkins are colorful in themselves, and the purple flowers behind them complement them perfectly!

Perfect
weather and so many subjects to choose from! The pottery was closed, so
I opened it in my painting. Great fun at the pumpkin patch! Dick

I have seen these little red and white structures passing Pastorinis on the way to Half Moon Bay many times, and have never stopped and looked around. It is delightful place, admittedly more suited to kiddies, but there were some lovely features to paint. Jenny

I loved the way this tractor seemed to be hiding amongst the corn and pumpkins. Jenny
