Little Pepper

Acrylic on stretched canvas, 2.5x3.5"

I've had these tiny stretched canvases sitting around for several months. Last night I didn't have much time to paint, so I decided one of these mini-canvases would be perfect. I pulled a little red pepper out of the fridge and went to it. I haven't been using acrylic paints much lately--they dry so quickly that the paint on one side of a shape is dry by the time I've gotten to the other side, which limits color mixing on the canvas. But when making such a small painting, the quick drying time is not much of a concern. I had fun making this little guy, and I've got a stack of these mini-canvases on the shelf. Perhaps there will be more tiny paintings down the road.
