Green Pepper

Oil on Canvas board 9" x 12"

Completed 11/15/98. This was the first time I ever tried to paint anything with oil. Other than just trying to see how this stuff worked, I do remember a desire to see how green I could make the pepper look. So...lets just surround it with all that red! That red, by the way, took what seemed like a year to dry completely. It made me think that oil was not the way to go. I have since altered that original impression and now enjoy this medium. I still sometimes think it takes to long to dry but I realize that this can be an advantage.
