PEPPERS

11"x15"

Day 28 - 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge. I love the weekends at our house! I am the chief cook during the week, but on the weekends the REAL chef in our house cooks.  My husband is a foodie and  is the creative genius in the kitchen. There is nothing more beautiful than a pile of peppers so in honor of his skills, I pulled this painting from the pile of unfinished works and finished it today. It had never progressed beyond the initial washes so I had fun building contour and depth with additional washes, building value as I went. 

This is about as realistic as I get with my painting and I just may do a series of beautiful food in the future.  Fun!
