I painted this lively study using a reference photo from Instagram's #foodpaintchallenge as I have with several other still life pieces from time to time.  All the varied shades of color across the many cut surfaces of the oranges, lemons and limes and the interplay of bright sunbeams cutting across the plates and tabletop created an interesting and almost abstract pattern of light and shadows.  Thank you to @dennispfeil.art @alaiganuza and @carolmarine for the great reference!

Home gardeners tend to find each other. Kitchen tables are hot spots for trade deals made over fresh-picked produce and Mason jars put up with the summer's harvest.  While stopping by a fellow gardener's house, I mentioned I was planning to make some green tomato salsa, and before I knew it, seven little home-grown jalapenos were set before me on the table.  Here they are.  A couple of things I loved about this painting this piece were the interesting, multi-layered shadows created by the kitchen lighting and the soft turquoise hidden in some of the highlights on the peppers.
