Right Where I Left It - Original Gouache Painting

A small still life out in the open—fieldstone, open air, and that warm light that makes everything look briefly forgiven. This tiny original captures a steady, grounding moment: a single pumpkin perched on a stone wall with the field stretching out behind it.

Painted in gouache with colored pencil details (and a soft touch of PanPastel) on 100% cotton archival paper. The painted image is 2.75" × 2.75" on 3" × 3" paper, with a natural border of unpainted paper. Signed on the reverse.

This is a one-of-a-kind original (not a print). A good gift for someone who loves small rituals, the quiet of nature, and those in-between moments that make you feel a little more anchored. Part of my Kindling Season series—paintings about comfort, transition, and the small signs that help us feel more at home in our lives.
