Plein Air Oil Sketch: Pumpkin Sale (Oil 9 x 20)

The Congregational Church holds pumpkin sale annually before the Halloween.  I left home not very early hoping in hopes of seeing people select pumpkins in the sun with their figures submerged in the orange light reflected from pumpkins. When I got there, I didn't see a soul except the lady behind the folded tables. As usual, pumpkins were piled all over the lawn. In such a situation, I decided to paint the booth. Only toward the end of my painting did a few people stop by and I had a chance to add some customers in my picture.
