A Tomato

Tomato, 6x6 Stretched Canvas (SOLD)

I can't believe that it has been over a month since I last blogged. It appears to me that blogging consistently might take more discipline that painting. I have nothing to say tonight. Just wanted to share some more of my work.

Tomato Break

Tomatoes and Cruet Bottles

A student in one of my painting classes recently brought some tomatoes from her garden to share with class members. What beauties! I immediately set them in a still life and began painting that afternoon. I couldn't wait to load my brushes with juicy paint and apply to the canvas, emulating the mood of the fresh, colorful, and tasty vegetables. It was a great day especially after I ate some of them. They enhanced a great sandwich.
