Well, it's 12:45. But I think I have finished this one. Now I really do have to go to bed. Tomorrow will come earlier than I think.
See you then.

Chuck, I'm clapping my hands in glee! This is gorgeous, gorgeous. Of course I love all the obviously lovable things about it, but I especially like the knife marks on the board. Your eye takes it all in.
How big is this piece, btw?
Get ready to be blind contoured tomorrow, heh heh.
Looks Fantastic Chuck! Didn't Carolyn have some Garlic in the upper right hand corner??? I swore I saw (ô¿ô) some.....You are gona be very tired today and will crash and burn tonight...LOL. Teach ya to stay up so late. It was worth it though...for us, Thanks!
Oh, I see--it is 9 x 12. Maybe if I didn't try to read or think so early in the am.... .
Rick. You are right. I am soooo tired today. Running late for work,... Don't wanna go in but have to. It's pouring down rain... Let my car window down last night... Great start to a friday.
Laura,
You weren't sleepy. I put the dimensions on after I saw your comment earlier this morning. Just too sleepy to write.
Noe it's time for more coffe and a crummy commute.
how absolutely beautiful! your work looks so "real" -- i feel i could reach in and pull out the veggies!
Turned out great. I like the sparkle on the peppers.
Hi Chuck, what a masterpiece... seeing the process of your execution is like watching a tv series ... :D gosh! the commercial break is killing..geegeegee
the glistening edge of the red pepper is unbelievable! or rather too believable! it's all gorgeous
get some rest, see you tomorrow!
I love this. It is so detailed and the colors are bright! How did you get the little white water drops on the pepper slice? Did you use masking fluid or something like that?
Koukla wins the prize!
Yes, before I began applying paint to the background I masked of the peppers and knife with masking fluid.
I then did the same for all the highlights that I wanted to remain paper-white.
Beautiful!
Chuck, this summer I took a watercolor class so I can really now apprciate the skill of this pepper portrait. I love the purple shadows....the dry brush technique to show shine on the red pepper and I appreciate the step by step demo.
Really lovely, I find myself wanting to eat green and red peppers. I enjoy the subtleties of coloration
Gorgeous! Great job.
Wow, this is really superb! Love the sheen. That particular slice of red pepper in the middle looks so real and delicious. Love the color of the shadows too. How long did it take you to do this painting, from start to finish?
What a dramatic painting! Composition and complimentary color palette. I thought I could avoid a snack, but now I'm hungry.
Hi Chuck. Beautiful! And really fun watching this piece build. I love a good cliff hanger! Isn't it amazing how much longer everything takes than you think it will? Every piece seems to have its own rhythm and timing. I could really relate to your late-night decisions about whether to keep going or just wait another day. Thanks for showing the process.
yummy! yummy! thanks for sharing the process to us. i enjoyed it.
i've got to eat my sandwich now and i'll make chopseuy with fresh green and red peppers on top this evening!
Ah! It turned out so beautifully!!! I have been watching your progress, and it's been like slowly unwrapping a very special gift. That's what you have...a real gift. I love what you do with watercolor. The details..water drops on the peppers, the knife edge, the marks in the cutting board, the dark edges of the peppers and their spongier inner parts..all perfect. Bravo!
Super. What brand of masking fluid if you don't mind me asking. I've never dared use it since I wrecked a painting many years ago (that had taken forever) when trying to remove the stuff.
Yay! A beautiful job, and very high in vitamin C. (especially like the scratches on the chopping board.)
Delicious red peppers! Extraordinary. :)
I´m fascinated! Don´t know what to say! It´s d... beautiful!
great!! i love this, i'm rubbish at watercolors :)
OH WOW, OH WOW, Oh WOW, I love the look of a watercolor well done and this one is SOOO well done. It is wonderful!!!!
This watercolor is just stunning! you really captured the fesh cuts of the peppers.

Your blog is fabulous, too... I love seeing your work in progress and hearing a bit about what motivates and drives you and how you started painting again... such talent!
