trapped pepper 5.5x7
The idea behind this is the same as the single grape tomato in the jar that I painted a few days ago. I like the idea of the pepper being contained for our viewing.
I like the idea of the pepper being trapped as well in this glass menagerie...it would be fun to see a whole series of "trapped" paintings, maybe with other vegatable watching it or perhaps fruit, or maybe legumes. Sort of like we do with animals, or something that is different.
I am an artist living in Northern California. In 1993 I graduated from
U.C. Davis where I took classes from Wayne Thiebaud, Dave Hollowell and Roy DeForest. I currently teach art at Chana High School in Auburn California. On this blog I have posted 1000 paintings in as many days. Lately I have not been as strict with my painting schedule although I still update this blog regularly. I want to do some larger paintings that may take me more than a day to complete. Unless marked otherwise, these paintings are for sale. Please direct all purchase enquiries to Elliot Fouts Gallery. If you are unsure about the availability of a painting, please don’t hesitate to email me.
