I never knew bell peppers would be so fun to paint! Now that I've done a few I'm going out on a limb to say they should be up there with pears on the universal list of great things to paint. They have a really compelling translucent quality that lightens up the shadow side, a wonderful shape in general, and lovely curving stems. I'm hooked.
Thank you all for the great comments on yesterday's demo! It was really rewarding to hear, and I promise to post more coming up.

I must say, you do justice to the pepper. By chance I also did an orange pepper today. I feel bad cause i cussed the brushes when i knew it was my fault the values were poor. Now I see yours' and feel a calmness and inspiration to keep at it. Besides, I've got 60 panels prepared and brushes with hurt feelings. I'm watching the vid again. :)

wow carol! i love how the dark shadows in the background mimic the base of the pepper stems. the colors overall are a perfect pairing, the peppers just glow.
This peppers are just splendid. And I, too, really enjoyed your video. Do I see some Helen Van Wyk influence? Thanks for continuing to share your excellent work.
I agree keep painting peppers. They glow and the brush strokes give them a great personality. Pat
After I left my comment about your great demo, it occurred to me to ask if you would mind blogging about how you photograph your paintings, the equipment/set-up you use or any helpful tips for selling online?
You said you talk about it in your workshop and I don't want to take away from that but since I can't get out there for a workshop...I thought I'd ask.
Oh Wow! This one's so cool! Love the composition and the brushwork!!
