Don't Bottle it Up

Bell peppers are tough because they are fairly translucent. Often, especially with a strong light, the colors and values change only subtly from the light side the shadow side. That said, my camera didn't quite pick up all of what's actually there. It does that sometimes with reds and oranges.

I really enjoyed capturing all the color bouncing around in this one. I've always like painting shiny things for that very reason.

I'll take a better picture of this one and repost it tomorrow. The sun goes down so EARLY this time of year way up here in Oregon. I had to take the picture inside and so the color isn't quite right.

Turns out the better picture isn't terribly different. But I do think it's better.

Strawberries and Milk

I did some work last year for Chinet, the paper plate company. I wasn't able to say much about it at the time, but I put the 4 paintings I did for them down below. I painted food, on paper plates (they added the edges of the plates around the food in photoshop). It was interesting. One of the things I painted was a fruit salad. We went around and around before hand about how it should look, and I finally cut the strawberries and they looked so cool! Anyway ... so I cut them for this painting and ... that's why? heh heh
