Question: How many artists does it take to change a lightbulb?
Answer: Two. One to change the bulb, and one to say "I could do that!"
When I learned about the original daily painting blogger, Duane Keiser, I thought, "I could do that!" My thanks to Duane and the other leaders in the Painting-A-Day movement.

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.
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.
Great colors. Good job.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful job, Bruce. You are so good with reflections. I should take that into consideration when I commission you!
