LAST UPDATED 11/14/2001

I've been busy this year, more than any other year, I beleive.  Jennifer got me started early (late September), and we've been carving ever since!  Here is a simple photo album of my latest creations!

If you see a photo that interests you, and you would like a high resolution copy, feel free to send me email and, time permitting, I will email a copy to you.  These high resolution images are 1600 X 1200 pixels, jpeg compressed and are 250KB - 500KB in size.  Family and friends get presidence of my time when requesting high res copies.

This is the largest of the albums provided, so I've broken it into 3 parts.  This is part two.  Part 1 is located here, and Part 3 is located here.

To view the images, just click on the thumbnail image on the left.  Use your browser BACK button to return to this index.   The images are about 30KB - 40KB and will take a few seconds to load.

ENJOY!

fire1.jpg (27738 bytes) In light of the September 11th attack on the USA and the resultant heroism displayed by our nations firemen and women, I decided to carve a pumpkin for our local fire department.  This is 1 of 3 images on this pumpkin, showing 2 firemen rescuing a victim.  Below, I also have a panoramic of this whole pumpkin.
fire2.jpg (31201 bytes) The face of this pumpkin shows an outline of the United States rendered with the Stars & Stripes of the American flag.   Posing in front of this image is the Statue of Liberty, symbol of freedom and liberty for the United States.  In the upper right I've included the maltise cross, symbol of the nations fire departments
fire3.jpg (24399 bytes) The 3rd image on this pumpkin shows 2 firemen (from the back) battling a fire with a fire hose.
zfire_dept_sm.jpg (60233 bytes) This is a panoramic of the fire department pumpkin, showing all 3 images.  Needless to say, the Merrimack, NH Fire Department was very pleased with this gift.
ophelia.jpg (29816 bytes) Ophilia: This is a wonderful rendering of a woman with her hands outstretched, as if to be reaching for something or making an impassioned plee.  I was very please with how well this pumpkin came out.
ophelia_close.jpg (37635 bytes) Closeup of Ophilia showing the bright star light in her veil
pa260014.jpg (33044 bytes) I carved this for a friend at work, for her boyfriend, who is an avid fisherman.  This first of two images shows a fly fisherman netting his catch.
pa260015.jpg (23123 bytes) The second image on this fishing pumpkin shows a largemouth bass ready to strike that poor little worm...
pa260016.jpg (33252 bytes) This is an unit version of the fishing pumpkin, showing the bass striking.
PA280003.jpg (32816 bytes) When our locak channel 9 (WMUR) filmed a segment on my pumpkins, this is the display we provided for them.
PA280007.jpg (34613 bytes) I wanted to carve a special pumpkin for my friend Ron (who went to Alaska with me).  He loved seeing the eagles, that were everywhere along the Kenia river.  This pumpkin shows 2 images, and one is that of an eagles head, nestled in the pines.  This is the unlit version
PA280009.jpg (28266 bytes) This is the lit version of the eagle.
PA280004.jpg (33831 bytes) On the other side of this pumpkin, I rendered an image of Ron from our trip.  This is a profile of ron, sitting in the boat as we drift for King Salmon.  This was a great picture of Ron and worked very well on the pumpkin.  This is the unlit version
PA280012.jpg (82354 bytes) This is the lit version of that pumpkin.  I've included the photo that was used to render this pumkin.  As you can see, it came out quite well
PA250007_small.JPG (34690 bytes) This is the sketch I've applied to a pumpkin, before carving it.  This shows the Harley Davidson logo with the image of a Harley 1200 Sportster motor cycle.  This is the unlit version.
PA250003.JPG (30609 bytes) This is the lit version of the Harley Davidson pumpkin.  I love this one!
PA270012.JPG (35322 bytes) My great friend Jo-Anne owns this most beautiful old colonial home set on a beautiful 10 acre site along the Souhegan river in Merrimack.  The farm was originally called Hickory Hollow Farm and had this quaint covered bridge leading you to her home.  The bridge is long since gone, but there are photo's.  For her birthday this year, I carved this pumpkin.  This is the unlit version.
PA270016.JPG (26024 bytes) This is the lit Hickory Hollow Farm pumpkin.  I just love it!
