A Pepper

This is my latest still life. I wasn't really planning on doing one, but I saw this pepper from my wife's garden sitting on the kitchen counter.

I stopped painting before I was finished and came back the next day to a much redder pepper.

That's the way to do it!

This week's Illustration Friday topic is "theater". Here's a picture of two extremes of theater together.

Boy, I've been really lax in posting lately. Here's a sketch of four characters for comic story I'm working on. It's another bible story. Can anyone guess the story?
