Cubanelle & Red Wine Vinegar
2010, Oil on Canvas, 14 x 18"


This painting was started in 2009 and completed in January of 2010 in my latest workshop with instructor, Jafang Lu.  The workshop concentrated on achieving the effects of light on objects.  During the course, we progressed from simple to more complex subjects.  For our last study, we were instructed to bring objects from home and set up a composition that appealed to us.  I wanted to convey the process of making homemade infused vinegar, so I fill an old bottle with red wine vinegar and placed a colorful cubanelle pepper on the table beside it.  The blue drapery serves as a colorful backdrop and helps to guide the eye into the central subject matter.
