Pepper Plant

Not done this poor pepper plant justice after all its gone through. Only just getting fruit now, after starting it way back in May, and its now looking like a cheese plant with all its holes from its resident (now evicted) caterpillar. It was only when I started to paint it that I realised what a beautiful spottled purple stem it had, as its been back lit all summer sitting on my kitchen window. I should make the time really to do a proper painting and do it justice.

  1. Very nice use of the color. It's quite painterly. I have a few of those "lacey" plants myself! nancy

  2. I think you've done a great job with this! And unfortunately, I have many of these lacy plants this year too! The caterpillars were fierce this year!
