Hot Chilli Peppers

5"x7" oil on gessoed masonite

The other night I was hungry for Thai food - I have a favorite cookbook from the bargain shelf at Borders for just this purpose. I made a stir-fried chicken with basil & chilli.....so I needed these peppers. They are such a pretty color of red & an interesting shape, I knew they would be fun subject matter to paint....but here I was cooking & everyone was hungry. The next day I went back to the store for 2 little peppers just to paint! first!.....then cook later!
