Pumpkin Personalities

Quinn and Sullivan spent an afternoon picking and painting pumpkins.  


And it was very evident within two minutes of the painting process that each girl displays very different personalities and very different approaches to art. 

Can you tell whose pumpkin is whose?!


Now I do realize that there are three years difference between Quinn and Sullivan and because of that Quinn's skill level should be more defined.  That thought isn't lost on me.  But when you see their approach to painting, it almost perfectly mimics their personality.


Quinn was careful to paint her pumpkin.  She ensured that no colors ran together (if she could help it) and painted with precision.  She developed a plan in her mind of what she wanted it to look like and then executed her vision.  She was meticulous in her execution and didn't make much of a mess.  The final product was colorful and vibrant and fabulous!


Sullivan was quick to begin painting.  She blended and mixed her colors and slapped them on her pumpkin. Her vision was more abstract than her sister's and she was finished rather quickly.  Her pumpkin was also colorful and bright, but in a much different way.  She got messy along the way and liked every minute of her messiness. 


Regardless of their styling and their execution, both Quinn and Sullivan made great pumpkins.  Their personalities (and their pumpkins) are so unique and one of a kind, but have a way of blending together quite perfectly.
