Paintings for the 2024 Grumpy Bert/Harman Projects Red Envelope show celebrating the Year of the Dragon. Artists painted on the ubiquitous red envelopes that the Chinese fill with money and give out as a symbol of good luck and prosperity. "Yangban Dragon" is inspired by a nobleman portrait I saw at the National Gallery in Seoul. 3.5x6.5" acylic painting on red Chinese new year paper envelope. If you didn't know, Koreans also celebrate lunar new year. The gallery asked a few artists to also paint big 18x36" paintings, so I painted mine in acrylic on wood panel. Dragons are associated with agriculture and rain and the show has a red theme so it seemed natural to paint the Korean heirloom peppers I grow on our roof every year. Show runs from Feb 10-24th, 2024 https://www.harmanprojects.com/exhibitions/65-red-envelope-show-2024/

Success! 6 for 6 sprouts! . Last year when I attempted to grow Lady Hermit Gochu peppers from @kitazawa_seed in an open six-pack I got half a sprout out of 6. . The high-tech growing clamshell (a $5 spinach container taped on top of another) seems to have done the trick! ✊🏼 Same clamshell (& soil 😬) I used to propagate the bottlebrush cuttings 🥳 . Now to keep them warm & growing for another month or so before transplanting outside 🤞🏼 . #PeterPiperPropagatedASixPackOfPeppers #PepperMeWithLove #PepperParty #LadyHermitGochu #Gochu #HotPepper #SpicyPepper #唐辛子 #Piment #Seedlings #HomemadeHothouse #Sprouts #Propagation #PropagationStation #WindowsillGreenHouse #WinterGardening #Zone9bGardening #Zone9b #Permaculture https://www.instagram.com/p/CLrkBZvAUUZ/?igshid=1qxm7v26zlkfc
