EDM 142 Hot Peppers

Returning to 12 and 14 hour days at work leaves little time at the B&B to PAINT -- sigh ... so I think I'm going to have to be satisfied with SKETCHES while I"m away from home and do my painting practice when I have more room, time and lighting.

Last night Rebecca's son suggested I sketch this bottle of peppers while I was hunting for 'sketch inspiration' ... and as it fit one of the Everyday Matters challenges, I decided to give it a go. Overhead kitchen lighting makes large, dramatic shadows impossible ... so I satisfied myself with highlights in the glass ....

Well done!!! Glass is so difficult, especially in bright lighting and you did a fantastic job. He had a good idea for you.

Wow! Your glass bottle is to be proud of! Nice job for a "sketch". Although, I am loving your paintings!

Your painting is beautiful - and I have to say I'm jealous of the item itself, we used the last of our hot peppers the other day and now we are jonesing for more!

Looking at your blog yesterday I was blown away at the great things you've been painting lately .. and then got side tracked. I had thought I commented on your awesome posts, now I find out I just thought all the comments I wanted to tell you...

I think it is so great that you are able to attend all those classes. Its fun to see how other artists work. I always get some little tip that I never thought of that makes the whold class worth while.

Lovely work.

Beautifully done! You've captured the darks well, got the highlights just right, a bit of reflection, a bit of shadow -- and vadababoom!... good show!
