GIANT RED PEPPER SOLD


This is the most beautiful pepper, well formed, and vibrant in color. I intened to use it in a salad but wanted to paint it before I cut it. I think after having painted it that I will paint the cut version next. With this painting I made an initial drawing in a dark neutral and then laid the colors into the established value areas. What I like about this tecnique is the clarity and desicive brush work.

You over came your slump in a big hurry. This painting is fabulous. The red is so vibrant, the blue so bright, the background so complimentary, and the purple shadow is perfect. I love this painting. Can't wait to see the cut version.

VANITY SOLD

I LOVE 'girl' things like lipstick, perfume, nail polish bottles, and pretty little compact cases. In this painting I was working for limited strokes. I would lay down the paint and leave it without manipulating it in any way. 6X6 inches oil Raymar canvas panel (Archival)

LITTLE ORANGE TEAPOT SOLD

Red Orange is another of my favorite colors. When I saw this great tea pot in one of the stores in town I wanted it right away. But, I thought and thought about it and when I went back to the store it was still there and I decided that it was mine! I am not a tea drinker but I have always loved the shapes and sizes and variety of design of teapots. In this painting I backlit the teapot with natural and studio lighting. I was experimenting with the changing values and shadow. 8X8 inches oil Raymar Canvas Panel (Archival)
