National Pumpkin Day

National Pumpkin Day, Park West Gallery

TITLE: “Autumn”

ARTIST: Simon Bull

DATE: 2006

WHY WE CHOSE IT: Squash any rumors you’ve heard to the contrary — today is National Pumpkin Day! Just in time for Halloween, October 26 is a day to carve out some time to celebrate the pumpkin. From the Greek word “pepons,” meaning “large melons,” pumpkins are symbols of autumn, serve as delicious pie filling and certainly make “gourd”geous subjects for still-life paintings!
