Happy Fall! Here’s a pencil drawing I did last year of a gourd.

I really enjoyed doing the curves of the gourd and the warts, as well as the hatbox it is on. Aside from the proportions being a bit off, I’m pretty pleased with the drawing. Maybe when my family gets our yearly pumpkins, I’ll draw (or paint) another pumpkin. If you’re interested in giving to, or sharing about a way you can help prevent orphans by keeping children who might be put in orphanages (because of poverty) with their families, check out these opportunities. You can help fund surgeries for children in China and India with cleft palates or heart defects, whose parents are not able to afford these necessary operations.
