"Standing Pepper" oil painting

Hey, did you know that today is Swiss National Day? The date is inspired by the date of the Federal Charter of 1291, placed in "early August". The document is one of several dozen pacts attested for the territory of Switzerland in the period of the mid 13th to mid 14th century.

Standing Pepper is the second painting in my series of sweet pepper artworks.  I used bold colors and delicate palette knife strokes, as I do in all my paintings, in order to create a lasting visual impression. Art buyers (and art lovers) will see chromatic references to prominent 19th century impressionist painters like Claude Monet and Camille Pissaro as I offer homage to their artistic vision through my own art. This artwork is for sale by auction, so if your like to bid on the painting just click on the image above.
