My favorite breakfast is peanut butter and banana on toast! It seemed quite original until I learned that Elvis Presley like to eat peanut butter and banana sandwiches. Great minds think alike. Actually the painting was purely an abstract idea and only took shape when the peanut was painted, and the object in the middle looked like a fried egg with a banana on the side. The variety of reds in the background include perylene maroon (PR179), Ferrari red (PR254), pyrol orange (PO73), and some quinacridones (PR122, PV19). I used to rely on alizarin crimson (PR83), winsor red (also PR254), permanent magenta (PV19 rose) and rose madder genuine. But two of those pigments are not at all stable. the real find was perylene maroon, which I discovered from reading handprint.com. It is the colour of a freshly hand picked strawberry and excellent for landscapes.
