Hide and Seek




Tried to add more color and more peppers. I think I like this cropped version better compositionally. Photos are fuzzy.

Come on In 8*" x 8*' oil on canvas

Peppers, hot and curly. Fun to paint, lots of nooks and crannies. The reflections made some great shapes. Round one.

Who's the Big Guy?

Still working on pears. They have changed color over the last few days. I am working quickly trying to get a series of four done before they rot! Keeping it simple so I can get back into the swing of painting daily without the stress of what to paint. Setup can take me FOREVER. So here are the latest two in a series of four. All 8 x 8" in oil on canvas board.
Done using thicker paint and a palette knife and brushes. Like the extra paint.

Did this one first. The bottle seems like it's tipping.
