Riding around the neighborhood after work there were some children with their parents getting an early start on the trick-or-treating. Halloween is a uniquely North American invention where kids dress up and go door-to-door for candy. Some people make elaborate decorations for their property consisting of ghosts, spiders, dead people, tombstones, witches, and spooky looking pumpkins. This pumpkin was an inflatable one, it was accompanied by some scary fences and a witch. It was kind of fun to capture the artificial orange colour, I used benzi orange (PO62) and the incredible pyrol orange (PO73). The owners of the house and some neighbors were around and took a look at the painting, they seemed to get a kick out of the idea that an artist had stopped to paint the decoration.
