Pickled Hot Pepper Painting

Picled Hot Peppers, Oil on Panel, 8x10"

Pretty much done, might go back into the highlights a bit.  I will definitely need to take a better picture if the December sun ever comes out again!  Impossible not to get the glare on the background when you scan a painting.  Now I will let my husband open this jar of peppers that my Aunt and Uncle gave us months ago.  It was just so pretty I had to paint it first.

Cherry Sketch

Some Sketching

I told myself that if I don't have time to paint on any particular day, I have to at least do a quick drawing.  All of the figure poses are courtesy of the awesome website http://artists.pixelovely.com/practice-tools/figure-drawing/ that sets up the poses like you are at a life drawing class.

Smooth Stones

Smooth Stones, Oil on Canvas, 14"x16"

Another piece that I've worked on intermittently.  Sometimes it's harder to go back and finish a half done painting than it is to just start something new, but I've always loved these shiny smooth stones.  I know the colours look unreal, but I have pictures from a beach in Newfoundland to prove it.
