Yellow Bell #4, 6x6, oil on panel

Today I had to cut my pepper. Tomorrow I think I'll have to eat it.

It's amazing what I can get done when I don't go anywhere. A decent snow has been enough to keep me home.

The set up.

This is the set up I chose. I liked the juxtaposition of the two pieces.

Cropped view through view finder.

It's handy to use a view finder for a close still life as well as a landscape.

And my painting. I like the green background. Letting the yellow ground show through keeps things vibrant.

I'm so glad to be painting again! How about you?
