I completed this illustration this week for part of a series I am working on. It seems to fit the subject rather nicely. Others in the series may pop up from time to time.
For some added fun, here are some of the MANY pumpkins on display at the Keene, NH pumpkin festival.
If you want to see more of the pumpkin festival (which is HUGE) go to Youtube.com and type in Keene NH Pumpkin Festival. You will be amazed at the THOUSANDS!!! of pumpkins on display.

Fantastic rendering of the (very difficult) skiing postures! Also of the feeling of speed. Now I need a nice hot cup of tea.

Fabulous! I love the action and your idea of having an elephant on skis! So funny! Really fun to look at.

Really well done! Super vibrant colors match well with the action.
Great action piece and you did an amazing job with the elephant!!!
You do action scenes really well, Ginger! The perspective, the poses, they're just right!
I love the elephant (and his oufit!) And he's doing a better job skiing than I would! :-)
oh what a fun piece and wonderful action! and i am a PUMPKIN CARVING JUNKIE - have 15 waiting on the front porch for next week! thank for sharing that pix,, ginger! and as always, thank you SO much for the visits - they always make me really smile. :))
Love your illustration - the expressions are super! Those pumpkins look wonderful like that!
Fast, indeed! Where you find the energy.....
Thanks for the comments. Sadly as I used to ski like the boy in this illustration, I now ski more like the elephant. Well maybe a bit better if I go cross country.
About those pumpkins... if you look closely at the enlargement (click on pic) you will see some people spelled out messages and one poor pumpkin is losing his insides. There were two huge towers of these carved beauties. Quite a sight.
I know just how that elephant feels on those skis!
Those pumpkins are incredible.... and I love the Halloween look on your blog!
Love their expressions!
I'm having so much fun looking at all the pumpkins. Thanks for sharing the photo.
