A Pepper and Tomato

A Pepper and TomatoOil on Linen mounted on Panel6x8″© Kelly Medford, 2011Who can resist the flavors of summer? I can’t!I just had to paint these lovely compliments while dreaming up recipes and thinking about what I would cook today. Even though it was raining cats and dogs outside, summer is still here and the abundance of food this time of year is always something to celebrate.Just as a side note I noticed (and laughed about) that these are also the colors of the Italian flag: red, white and green. Usually it wouldn’t even come to mind, but this is the 150th anniversary of the unification of Italy so these colors are all over the place this year. Maybe I had them unknowingly in mind.If you like this painting you can bid on it here at my Daily Paintworks auction site.Go ahead and bid, it’s fun!
