This pepper is from our garden - Tim and I thought it was a Bell Pepper, but... no! It's sweet and beautiful, too. We've been having a nice summer harvesting all kinds of tomatoes, eggplants (which I'll try to paint this week), and some sort of globular cucumbers. I tried actually not to be conscious of what I 'should' and 'shouldn't' do as I painted this... consequently it went very fast! I think sometimes I 'think' paintings to death. But after a while you can kind of let it go and paint on autopilot. Let me know what you think...
This painting is so loose and yet so three dimensional! Great work.

Really nice pepper! Sometimes we do our best when on autopilot
ReplyDeleteHad to stop... love your colours... the background... everything... really cool
ReplyDeleteIt makes me want a pepper, that's for sure! Sometimes you have to trust that you know what to do... and just do it.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, that's why you paint every day, to learn by trying, explore, and see what happens.

ReplyDeleteI love a pepper painting. You created a great color harmony (which so eluded me the other say) and fabulous 'boxy' pepper shape. One of your best, I think.
