Yellow Pepper 4.5ins x 6ins Oil on Board

This painting took me a little longer than usual. I wanted to capture the yellow in all it's glory. I found the only way to do that was to do an underpainting and do a couple of layers before I could get the yellow to sing. I think I got there in the end :)

Red, Yellow and Green Peppers 4.5ins x 6ins Oil on Board

I have been trying to paint more exotic fruits or vegetables but I had kind of forgotten peppers. Probably because I don't really consider them particularly exotic. In saying that there was a time when I was a child when they didn't seem to be readily available. Mind my parents were brought up in the war so probably didn't know what they were. Actually they do look interesting as fruits go. I often like some slices of peppers in my melted cheese and Salami toasted sandwiches. Makes it taste like Pizza. Yum :)
