“Tabasco (Large and Small)” is an original painting by New York artist John Tebeau, one of 30 Paintings in 30 Days. (click here to purchase) November’s theme is Things We Love to Eat and Drink. December’s theme will be announced later. Have suggestions for subjects or themes? Let me know with a comment.
I love Louisiana. I love hot sauce. I love Tabasco. It’s the iconic American pepper sauce, still made on Avery Island, LA, where back in 1862 the Avery family discovered a massive salt mine, which saved the confederacy’s bacon. Literally. Since 1868 the salt has been put to good use making Tabasco sauce, and subsequently, many a Bloody Mary.
(NOTE: there’s a subtle fire motif in the background of this painting: red flames on the orange background. The difference is too subtle for my scanner to fully catch, but it’s really quite striking. And SPICY LOOKING.)
I’m doing a painting each day this month. 30 paintings in 30 days. Being November, the Month of the Feast, the theme is Things We Love to Eat and Drink.

I love my hometown’s chili, Taylor’s Chili of Carlinville, Illinois. See the website:
I like the cut of Taylor’s jib.
Want me to send you a can? My Dad bought a case for me not too long before he died. He hated the stuff… but I think he’s the only one in Carlinville who didn’t like it.
Nah, that’s okay… I can get a pic on the interweb.
I love this one, Tabasco is a favorite of mine too. Although there’s really not a hot sauce I don’t like. Louisiana Brand is up there too.
I like the subtle touch of the background flames.
Mmmm, Tabasco. And for that matter, Louisiana brand, Frank’s, Crystal, Sriracha, Cholula and Tios #4. Hot sauce makes me happy.
