painted pumpkins
the other day i posted some ideas for decorating pumpkins that don't involve carving, and one of our readers sent these photos of some awesome painted pumpkins that i just had to share...read jennifer's comment and check out the pumpkins below!
for the past 5 years I've been painting pumpkins for andy's pumpkin express. myself and about 20 other artists from the state paint the pumpkins and they get sold at the event in brick NJ. 100% of the proceeds go to the diabetes fund. pumpkins are done in acrylic paint. every artist there has a specialty pretty much; theres landscape painters, portrait painters ect. i'm more of the animals/movie poster painter, and every year i do another led zeppelin pumpkin.
thanks for sharing jennifer, your pumpkins rock! especially the led zeppelin one :)
