Eggs, Pepper, No Salt ©M Stermer-Cox

Watercolor: Pepper, No Salt

I’m doing watercolor studies of my pepper mills these days.  Pepper and salt seem to go together like peas in a pod.  When you see one, you see the other.  So where is the salt?  Off paper, in the cupboard.

Watercolor: Pepper, No Salt ©M Stermer-CoxWhile I was drawing and painting my pepper mill, I was reminded that pepper was one of my Dad’s favorite spices.  He used to use lots of pepper on his eggs, salads and steaks.  He liked it best freshly ground from the pepper mill.  We had one that he and my mother purchased while living in Europe in the 1950s.

So, why draw and paint a pepper mill? Pleasant memories and great shapes!  Aren’t the curves lovely?

The other reason to draw the pepper mill is because I like it.   I like it so much, I did it again and added some eggs.  Still no salt.  Yes, these are two different mills.

I’m thinking of participating in Leslie Saeta’s “30 Paintings in 30 Days“.  I love painting with watercolor and the more paintings the better!

Lets see, what next?
