JACK-O-LANTERN ART AT THE HOUSE OF BEER

When I was a boy living in England we carved turnips and hung them in the trees.  We called it bonfire night but I guess it was more formally Guy Fawkes day.   All Saints day,  Halloween,  whatever it's called the phenomenon is larger than life in many places.
Anyway last night at the world's best brewery, Dix on Beatty St., many pumpkins were sacrificed at the altar of vegetable art.
This is my blog so this is my jack-o-lantern. 
The strange thing about this stuff is that although the orange squash welcomes fine art sculptures.....simple shapes and unrefined compositions also look great.  It's a great form of folk art.

Some people were done in ten minutes but others took a long time to express themselves.
