Gourd-geous

Gourds

With Keith in the garage inhaling toxic fumes every night I started to get really jealous. So I looked around the house for something I could paint.

I’ve had these Chinese Bottle gourds for a few years. They used to be a bright mint green but have slowly dried to a beige, speckled perfection. The seeds inside even have a little rattle to them.

No patterns, no plan, just paint. It goes to show you what a little color can do.

    May your creativity never be squashed!
    Some time ago I knew an artist in the East Hollywood area who was "Johnny Squash-seed" and planted seeds in empty fields throughout Los Angeles. He harvested and dried the gourds turning them into hanging planters. I wonder if any of these plants still remain.
  • I love the color :) What a great way to spend the day.
