Natural Perfection

Medium: Oil on Photo Paper
Size: 4x6
Price: SOLD

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.
