I rummaged around in the refrigerator and found these bell peppers to paint. I was working on painting various values and colors in the reds. I think I have made some progress, but I will work on this some more.
I was the first person up in my household this morning. My body didn't know about daylight savings time. I wandered into the kitchen and made a loaf of orange-cranberry bread. It made the house smell great, and was good with our morning coffee.
Virginia---I hope you don't mean you're going to work more on that painting! It's really nice: great volume on the bell peppers and I love the overall glow of the painting! It's a beauty!
ReplyDeleteHi Lorraine. Nope, this painting is done, but I just need to work on painting reds. And thanks! I've noticed that I like bright paintings.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work Virginia! I think you've done a great job of having a variety of values and reds here. Orange cranberry bread!! Yummmy!
ReplyDeleteNice peppers Virgina. I really like your warm Tuscan colour palette. Thanks for visiting and for your good wishes.
ReplyDeleteNice work on these peppers! Good job with the values.
ReplyDeleteOrange cranberry bread sounds great!! Yum!
Vous me mettez en appétit ma chère Virginia et je viendrais bien me joindre à vous pour le petit déjeuner !
ReplyDeleteVos poivrons sont merveilleusement bien réalisés... Ils explosent en couleur. Le contraste avec le fond jaune apporte de la force à votre sujet. Bises
The peppers look nice and bumpy like peppers do. So which do you think is more difficult to work with - red or yellow?
ReplyDeleteThe bread sounds delicious. I like orange rolls, but I haven't had orange-cranberry.
You shop for still life subjects like I do, straight out of the fridge...lovely painting!
ReplyDeletep.s. I'm available for coffee any time. :)
Caladh, I still think yellows are more difficult, at least for me. I end up making the shadows look muddy. Need more practice!
ReplyDeleteDana, wouldn't that be fun! I've often thought I'd like to meed many of the painters whose work I admire!
ReplyDeleteSo festive! Great color combo! Sometimes the best still life comes straight out of the fridge:) You can send some of your orange-cranberry bread right on over, sounds yummy!:)
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind words, much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteYour still lifes are coming along great!
Very nice Virginia! Like the yellow background with the red peppers. I also really like the pear that is posted today on fresh painters.
ReplyDeleteYou'r bell pepper looks great Virginia.It looks great with great values....
ReplyDeletehow are you ?.....
Thank you, Carol. That pear is an older painting that I hadn't posted to Fresh Paint. Everything so far this week has been a wiper!
ReplyDeleteAnu, thanks for visiting! I've been well. My painting this week seems to be going backwards, though, instead of getting better.
ReplyDeleteI am biking to the store in a minute to buy some of these for our dinner...Lovely painting!
