A blog for the musing and rants about painting, the business of painting, getting old, passing along good stuff, links, tutorials and tidbits.

 

Red Pepper oil on panel 6” x 6” 2020

Another addition to my Kitchen Art series.

August 22, 2020

It’s been a long time since I did any little paintings. About a year. Even longer for a piece of Kitchen Art. This pepper came from Roger’s garden. We didn’t have a garden this year because the deer have figured out the fence. Next year I’ll figure out the fence.

This painting was done using my dual primary spectrum palette. I added Lukas Vermillion Deep and Geneva Pyrrole Rubine. Painted in one pass. I may have stopped to pee.

I haven’t been able to work since March. We shut down the weekly figure painting session. I miss the light of Johan’s studio, the camaraderie and the challenges.

I am a steaming pile of co-morbidities. Age, and health make me a rather fat target. Only recently have I come out of my basement like Joe Biden. Except I don’t want to rule the free world. All I want is to paint and sell enough to buy supplies and a desert island in French Polynesia.
