I think that is a great Halloween picture. The pumpkin face is impressive, and so are the teeth The eyes and niose are really expressive. The detail is good, both in the face of Jack, and in the background.

That is different. A kind of an old mean pumpkin or such crossed with a even as mean cat . Isn't it? It has also the Halloween humor. I like the mask in the back as well as the worms, nice touch.
Much luck for the contest.

Wow, hello Jack! Very adequate for the season, but...I don't find him scarry at all; he's so sweet, like a child trying to look creepy, while being just adorable. The combination of colors is wonderful, very original composition.

What a neat Halloween painting. Your Jackolantern comes across a little scary which is effective for this piece. Colors are fitting also. Lots of depth and the visual impact for the viewer is great. Enjoyed viewing it. Well done. Good luck in the contest.

I love this creepy, eye staring, unlikaeable thing. Nice work. I love the murkiness, dark setting. Not what is expected out of pumpkin. The colors and composition are strong and powerful and I especially like the eyes. Don't want to go near it.

Super work on your pumpkin Jack,the face does have quite the scary look.I'm assuming those are worms coming and going in him.The detail is awesome Shawn and I like the background with the dripping trees(?).Great color,great detail
and a pretty good scare factor.
Best of Luck to you in the contest.

I love the color pallid that you used for this one.. Also the painting is very creative, a lot of detail... The red eyes are an attention getter for sure. Keep up the good work.. Lori
