"Tequila"

6x6" oil on Gessobord

It didn't occur to me until later that these peppers appear to have had a bit too much to drink. I just sorta tossed em' on the table, poured a shot of tequila and ran with it. I didn't drink the shot, though I enjoyed the aroma while painting. I think this is the final in my cocktail series.

"Pepper Platter" - SOLD

I literally dumped the bag on the plate and went for it. Well I did turn the plate a bit. I often spend up to a half an hour getting set up so this was a refreshing change! When I was done painting them my daughter asked to try one. I'm happy to report that they didn't taste like wax! They tasted sort of like a mild bell pepper. 

"Pepper Patrol"

I buy my veggies at a place called Mexicana Produce. They have amazing prices (broccoli florets for 69 cents a pound!!) They also have an inspiring assortment to choose from. I had been eyeing these peppers for a while, they're called wax peppers. I'm not sure what they taste like but I plan to find out after I paint them one more time. I sure hope they don't taste like wax.

"Golden Peppers"

I had a few wipe outs painting these peppers. They have a translucent quality that I wasn't quite capturing. It was frustrating but I'm glad I finally arrived at a happy place. They were under the lights so long they were partially cooked!
