From Vikki:
Widow Murphy had quite the garden. She grew the most flavorful vegetables anyone could ever hope to taste. But as these things go, there was a problem. Her neighbor, Herbert, started helping himself to Widow Murphy’s vegetables. He’d climb over the fence at night and strip her plants bare.
One day while she was talking to a neighbor about Herbert stealing her haul, an odd calm came over the Widow. You’d have thought she had seen Jesus himself! She went back down the street … TO READ THE REST OF THIS STORY PLEASE VISIT THE INFERNO.

Earler today, I was thinking about the reveal and wondering what twist you come up with. I actual laughed out loud with this clever interpretation. A truly beautiful painting.

I thought the calm was before eating the chillies,
and the storm after eating them? Beautiful colours and so realistic, almost a photograph. Love it.

Vikki, I just love your perspective for this theme, also…playful. And how you create ‘lighting’ is amazing, I think.
