Yesterday evening I went through the garden and picked
things I thought might get damaged by the winds and rain
that were predicted with the arrival of Hurricane Irene.
Among the things I had chosen to bring into the house were
some poblano peppers, which varied in color from
greens to very dark reds.
I was so glad I had chosen these peppers when I woke up
to find that Hurricane Irene had knocked out our electricity
around 4 a.m., and the other things I had planned to do today
were not possible without power, phone and/or water.
It was a perfect opportunity to just paint, which is
exactly what I did. The power has finally come back on
12 hours later, so I guess I'll have to get those chores done...

I'm glad you picked these chiles also, they are very fine paintings.
Thank you, Deborah! I got to see your work in the Hanover Area Arts Guild - WOW. Just gorgeous!
Wow, look at you go, girl! You'll soon be finished with your 100 day challenge. Good work!
Your peppers are wonderful--beautiful colors, value changes,making them look so scuptural.
What a great post Claire. I am going through the blog this morning and looking at all of the wonderful artwork posted over the past week. What a great group of artists!
Claire, I really enjoy the Pepper series. And thank you for the nice comments on the Pgh pieces.
Awesome paintings as usual! You'll be done with your 100 paintings before you know it!
You somehow managed to have a great light source without electricity and without much light in the sky. Great pepper paintings, lively and fun.
Thanks so much for your kind comments, everyone.
Taryn, around noon the skies got much lighter here in Gardners, and by 3:00 in the afternoon there was beautiful sun. I prefer painting by natural light, so it was wonderful!
