Bottle and Peppers by Lance Hunter

This expressive still life in watercolor by Lance Hunter, a renowned international artist and Professor of Art at Northeastern State University, showcases his masterful command of color, light, and atmosphere. At the center sits a dark, rounded bottle rendered in deep, layered tones, its reflective highlights offering just a hint of the scene beyond. In the foreground, two bell peppers—one warm orange and one bright yellow—bring a lively contrast, their forms shaped through delicate washes and subtle shadow.

Behind them, a softly draped yellow-green cloth provides movement and depth, guiding the eye gently across the composition. Hunter’s approach to watercolor is both fluid and intentional, blending realism with painterly expression to elevate simple, everyday objects into a moment of quiet beauty.

A graceful study in harmony, light, and the art of seeing.
