2006

8x10 in.

Continuing my Passionate Produce series featuring fruit and vegetables in "affectionate" poses.  While grocery shopping, the piles of  red peppers and onions caught my eye.  To find the best pepper and onion, I was "posing" them on top of a large toilet paper package in my cart to set up my still life composition.  As I took a step back to look at my composition, I realized there was a guy watching me, probably thinking I was crazy.  I decided that perhaps I should be more discreet in choosing my produce for painting purposes!
