I had better control over my light sources in this, and I think it shows in the dynamics of the face.

My first new work since stabilizing from the Fluoroquinolone chemical death spiral, I'm easing back into things.  Planning a few small portraits before I head into any new large symbolism laden works- but trust that they are coming.

 

Pepper paintings, refinished.

I'm not dead!  It was pretty close though.  Fluoroquinolone toxicity has ravaged my connective tissue and had me down to 3 foods I could eat without making things worse.  Luckily an experimental infra red treatment designed to fight Lyme's Disease/ DNA adducts has seemingly contained and reversed- though not eliminated the reactions.  Gonna have to avoid non organic diary and mammal flesh for the rest of my life- along with some 400 contraindicated pharmaceuticals.  Yikes.

Anyway, here are some newly refinished paintings, set to last 100+ years with proper cad red.
