little cartoon chillies

Some cute daft looking chillies arrived and I was only too happy to try and paint them. I've had a few 'crumple up and chuck in the bin ' failures so was getting a bit despondant. I tried to paint some lovely pears and couldn't for the life of me get the colour right, and I had a go at a red pepper that only lasted moments (the effort that is, not the pepper). Cute daft bright cheery chillies were just what I needed.
The chillies had a cartoonish quality about them. So does the pic I think, not that I did that cleverly on purpose or anything. I don't mind this, I'm happy with the colour, and some of the shadows. Unfortunately the chilli out front is is my least favourite, I'd like it to shuffle off down the back.
