Beer and peppers



My husband has been asking me to paint some peppers.  So I did this one for him.  I thought a cold beer would be just the thing to go with them.

It's getting close to Thanksgiving!  I'll be doing the cooking this year, so like most everyone, I won't be having much time to paint.  I'm working on a painting right now, so maybe I'll get that finished before I have to fire up the oven!

  5. Lovely job Virginia! My husband has requested a pepper painting also. He grows his own and we've had quite the harvest. I plan on using them in our jalapeno cornbread dressing. I know what you mean about firing up the oven. I'm trying to figure out if I need to take a little holiday break from painting. Maybe if I'm super organized I can fit it all in:) Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, my friend:)

  6. Thanks Crystal! And Carrie, jalapeno cornbread dressing sound yummy, but I don't think the grandkids would eat it. I will definitely be taking a break from painting this week. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

  7. Beer and peppers is a great combination gastronomically and in a painting! Well done.
    PS Thanks for visiting, the studio tour managed to avoid the snow. It's snowing like mad today!

  8. Red and yellow in one painting! The peppers look really nice with great reflections and colors. I especially like the front two. Maybe because of the way the light hits them. The bottle looks good too. Have fun cooking, and Happy Thanksgiving!

  11. I hope you know that I mentioned red and yellow in one painting because we've discussed the difficulties of both colors. You weren't worried about using both colors in one painting, and I think they look beautiful. No mud in this yellow at all.
