Fearless Friday, Fall Bounty
Happy October!
I’ve been having fun painting Fall and Halloween themes
“Off to the County Fair,” watercolor and ink
” The Witch’s House,” ink, marker and colored pencil
“Harvest,” ink, colored pencil
Earlier this week I enjoyed creating a cornucopia of Fall’s bounty
This was inspired by this beautiful MacKenzie-Childs pillow
I changed a few things, adding sunflowers, a gourd and autumn leaves
I began by sketching the cornucopia first
and adding the elements from the pillow I did want to include
I inked in these elements, refining the sketched shapes
I added sunflowers and the pattern for the checked pumpkin
I decided to add another gourd next to the sunflowers
and finished the composition by adding a couple of leaves
Crosshatching* conveys the basket texture
*intersecting sets of parallel lines
I used a pen to fill in the checks on the pumpkin,
purposely leaving a little white showing
and began to paint the cornucopia and gourd with watercolor
I always keep a color chart handy for quick reference
and a piece of paper to test colors as I paint
I finished the grapes and added a shadow under the basket
Once it was finished I gave it a final splatter of color
“Fall Bounty” 7″ x 10″ watercolor and ink on mixed media paper
I use mixed media sketch books for my daily art
and my favorite size is 7″ x 10″ for small drawings or paintings
and 11′ x14″ for larger creations
Amazon has them available at great prices
7″ x 10″ here and 11″ x 14″ here,
Many other sizes are available also

I added this design to my Society 6 Shop,
thinking the Coasters or Serving Tray
would make a great Thanksgiving host or hostess gift,
and wouldn’t it be fun to arrive at the celebration
with a Tote Bag full of goodies!
I hope your day is filled with sunflowers,
pumpkins and the bounty of the season!
Be Fearless!

Thank you Shelley!
That’s very pretty, Jenna! It would make great note cards too!
Thank you Rita, it is available on cards too 🙂
Lovely cornucopia! And I always love seeing the process as well. The pickup truck really says fall to me!
Thank you Dorothy 🙂
Love “Off to the County Fair” and “Harvest”–My husband used to drive a red truck so I am a sucker for such pictures–brings back memories of wonderful years we shared. I like the scarecrow in the pumpkin patch, too–particularlly since I am fall cleaning and my hairstyle looks a little like hers today! : ) You are such a talented lady. Georgia Gal
Oh, bittersweet I know…hahaha about your hair!! Enjoy this beautiful Fall Saturday Georgia Gal, I’ll be watching the Au/Georgia game tonight!!
Bravo, Jenna! You did it again!! Your Cornucopia is stunning! (love the addition of “splatter” and all the fall colors!). I also love “Off to the County Fair”: could almost smell “fall in the air” when I first looked at it. Honestly, I can’t tell you how much I look forward to your “Fearless Fridays”. Your talent and eye for color is such a pleasure to behold. Happy Weekend!
Thank you for your sweet comments and support Rosie, I truly appreciate it and it makes my heart sing to know I can bring you a smile and a little pleasure 💕
Your fall bounty is such a delight. You always share such beautiful seasonal art. I’m in love with the scarecrow and cornucopia…….You are such a gifted artist. Happy Weekend.
Thanks so much Emily!
A wonderful fall collection, Jenna! 🧡🌼 I really love Off to the County Fair with the vibrant fall colors and beautiful trees.
Thank you Patty Anne that was fun to paint!
It’s great to see another painting blog. I’ll have to start dropping in on Fridays. I love it that you’re adding your art to
products.
Thank you Kristie, I look forward to getting to know you 🎨
Love your artistic rendering of your cornucopia Jenna, especially when it gets its final splash and splatter of color! It would make a cute tote. ♥
Thank you Mary 🙂
I adore the coronucopia (and all the other art), Jenna. It’s beautiful — wonderful colors and shapes and just perfect for the season.
Thanks Jeanie, art is my happy place, especially these days!
