Red, White, and Hot

Amber River Stones

This still life captures a selection of essential culinary ingredients: vibrant red onions with their papery skins, a bulb of fresh garlic, and a pair of fiery chili peppers. The painting celebrates the beauty and potential of these flavorful elements.

Bathed in soft light, the rich purple and red tones of the onions contrast with the creamy white of the garlic and the sharp colors of the chilies. This piece is a study in texture and the vibrant palette of the kitchen.

The organic forms and textures of these aromatics are brought to life in this detailed still life. From the layers of the onion to the cloves of the garlic and the smooth skin of the peppers, the painting highlights the beauty in everyday ingredients.
