(5x7)
Vegetable bin still life #2.
I keep trying to define the green pepper more--some people never learn!--but in my indecisiveness let it get too wet.
I'm hoping these pepppers will hold up for a couple more days: painting them day after day should, in theory, lead to ... something.

  1. Hi Laura,

    The painting is delicious, as was the last one. Here's your mantra "I am
    a great watercolour painter." Repeat this 10 times every two hours, and realize that it's true.

    Take care,

    Barbara

  2. Ah, your paintings make me hungry... Don't worry about the produce, paint it, eat it, buy some more. I love these studies, they are so fresh, like their subject.

  4. P.S. I second Barbara's comment, and add to the recipe: "Omit even a GRAIN of salt!"
