Pickled Chili Pepper



Oil on panel, 2.5 x 3.5 inches

I like the reflection of this pepper on polished wood; and the colors harmonize well.

Sold.

Thank you Chris, Anonymous X 4, and Stacie, for your comments. I guess this does look kind of photographic, doesn't it? I'll have to work on that. I'm after "painterly", but sometimes I forget and paint "photographic" by default. There's a time for both kinds.

Photographerly is an amazing way to paint. Sometimes some of Norman Rockwell's paintings had photographerly aspects that really made the "WOW" factor. But his painterly with the photographerly mix was what truly amazed me. I love them both! And your chili pepper was both in my way of thinking.
