Natural Perfection
Medium: Oil on Photo PaperSize: 4x6
Price: SOLD
Contact: desanostudio@cox.net
This piece is a black and white photograph which I painted on. I like to leave some of the original black and white photo untouched like I did in the background row of trees. I find this to be a great exercise to loosen up when I first pick up my brush in the morning.

I often like to paint the same composition several times varying the size or type of substrate. This repetitive process allows me to become more intimate and familiar with my subject. I was encouraged to try this method several years ago by my friend and mentor and found the experience to be quite liberating. Thanks Anthony.

My friend Kyle was kind enough to introduce me to his culinary mentor Poo and his wife Ooy. They took me for a tour through their greenhouse to photograph the many varieties of peppers. All the different colors were extraordinary. What a visual pleasure it was.

I think this might be the beginning of a pepper series. My friend Kyle who happens to be a pepper connoisseur has turned me onto some of the hottest and most unusual peppers in the world. He is sought after by many local restaurants for his pepper expertise and recipes. He has started his indoor vegetable garden which includes pepper plants from India, Thailand and Mexico so by June I'll be painting some of Kyle's homegrown varieties.

Snow Cover At Dawn
Medium: Oil on PanelSize: 8x6
SOLD

It's amazing how much activity there is in the middle of the woods at this hour of the morning. Mostly birds, squirrels and a few deer. If you ever have the chance to put yourself in the woods before sunup on a cold winter morning after a fresh evening snowstorm I highly suggest you do it at least once. There really is nothing else like it in the world.

We were not alone. A group of wild turkeys were also enjoying this cold snowy morning. I can't seem to get enough of these moments in before spring.

I bet this one looks familiar. This painting was from an earlier post. After looking at it hanging on my studio wall, I decided to go back into it with some lighter color in the sky. I also pushed some of the background trees farther into the distance. I'm very happy with the changes I made. The piece seems to have more depth than before. Scroll back to Monday February 25th and compare the paintings for yourself.
