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 high school art in Placer County California. On this blog I have posted 1000 paintings in as many days. I took a break from that strict schedule for a couple of years but since the beginning of 2014 I have been completing one small painting on a daily basis. The practice of completing a painting a day suits my disposition and aesthetic. I have also found that modeling this sort of daily practice for my students is important. I am making these paintings available on ebay. Thanks for stopping by and check back often if you like what you see.
