I like the two reflections; one on the pepper in the dark and the other of the reflected light at the base of the green stem. Very nice.

Julian, I think this is very skilfully done to lighten the red by avoiding going into pink is impressive.
You make it look so easy yet it’s not! Red and green always works well and of course your usual white highlight makes it all mouth-wateringly beautiful.
This is a red hot painting!
I wish I could afford to buy it.
Kind regards, Graham Lomas

Painter’s notes

A welcome change as a storm is followed by a cool blustery morning - anything is a nice change to days of 100F pus
