This is totally unexpected. That pop of red with the otherwise gray (well, the green of the stem, ok) is unusual but pleasing. You'd expect for the pepper to be focused, but with it being OOF makes it more interesting if you really think about it. I like the lines created by the table it's on. I love the frame too.
The kitchen! Good, too. Lovely shapes and slashes of ... something interesting. On what does the pepper repose? It looks like the wing of a U2 spy plane, but that's unlikely, surely?
I thought it was a skyrocket from the thumb. Imagine my disappointment. ;-)
This is muy caliente - painterly - the red really pops - as in jalapeno poppers. :)
