Traditionally, pumpkins are carved for Halloween.
The Evening Art Group, which meets every second Tuesday from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Red Barn Arts Centre in Sicamous, decided to switch things up on Oct. 26.
How? By painting the pumpkins instead, explained the group’s leader, Diana Blake. Most people brought their own pumpkins to paint, but Blake wanted to give thanks to one member who brought in small pumpkins for everyone.
The night went smoothly, said Blake, the only challenge being that two hours was not enough time to paint a multitude of layers on the pumpkins. She said most attendees wanted to make some finishing touches on their pumpkins later.
The Evening Art Group is open to anyone, from beginners to experts. At their next meeting on Nov. 9, Blake said they’ll be exploring colour theory or doing an introduction to watercolour painting.
