It’s been so, so, so grey outside, for 4 months now… but orange helps grey zing… thought I’d paint the pumpkins before it got too cold in the barn, dressed in thermals, 3 jumpers, hat, scarf and walking boots… the atmosphere is cool and natural but the light fades at 2 and it’s far too cold and damp out there now, my paper curls, the wooden boards are saturated, and my fingers and nose are frozen forever.
