Three garden pumpkins, two burnt-orange and one pale cream heirloom, sit in a row with curled tan stems, nestled among sage-green stems and small leaves. Behind them a dense backdrop of small white and cream wildflowers fills the upper part of the picture, and dried autumn leaves lie scattered on the warm, earthy ground.

Soft, even daylight shades the pumpkins gently. The oil is applied with a palette knife in thick impasto, leaving visible ridges and dabs on the pumpkins and flower clusters, while loosely blended edges give the scene an impressionistic softness.
