I finished "All in the Family" today.  I titled this piece "All in the Family" as there are a variety of peppers represented.   This is a 9" x 12" pastel painting that I painted for an upcoming small works show at my Scottsdale Gallery, Amery Bohling Gallery.  Small works shows are most often 9 x 12 pieces or smaller.  The ristras and chile peppers are showing up everywhere in the stores here in the Valley of the Sun and I couldn't resist buying a few to paint.  I especially love the colors in the red chile peppers.  Some of them are in color transition with a few fully changed to a dark purple red.  The Anaheim Peppers added some green to "spice" up the composition.  I am going to do another piece with the red peppers hanging in a bundle.  I just love the warm reds, oranges and yellows......can't wait to get started!!
