Pumpkin watercolor by Lora 

"My focus was to try mixing greys from a triad, red, blue and yellow.  Luckily this site had a large variety of colors and types of pumpkins, and there were many grey pumpkins to paint.  They also had them arranged beautifully.  In Ikebana, (Japanese flower arranging), there is a style called “Morimono”.  It means arranging fruits and or vegetables, with or without flowers in a pleasing way.  Someone at Queen’s Pumpkin Patch has a good sense of this style as there were many clusters or Morimono’s there."
