Vine Tomatoes



It came to my attention that these vine tomatoes were on their way out and that if I wanted to paint them today had to be the day. Have you ever had great expectations about painting something only to decide that something else is more interesting. I bought these tomatoes thinking that I'd rush home and paint them and then time went by and by and by.

Are you kidding me? I now have an artichoke, leeks, and peas which are on their last leg. I did paint the peas once. Just trying to get something done before they hit the garbage!

Your tomatoes look yummy and colors are beautiful. Very nice, Linda!

Hi Linda, lovely composition. Believe me, I picked the last 4 vine tomatoes this morning to decorate toasted croissants with scrambled eggs. Speaking of garbage, I used to cut open a large pumpkin and painted or sketched till it attracted funny insects and algae.

VANITY SOLD

I LOVE 'girl' things like lipstick, perfume, nail polish bottles, and pretty little compact cases. In this painting I was working for limited strokes. I would lay down the paint and leave it without manipulating it in any way. 6X6 inches oil Raymar canvas panel (Archival)

LITTLE ORANGE TEAPOT SOLD

Red Orange is another of my favorite colors. When I saw this great tea pot in one of the stores in town I wanted it right away. But, I thought and thought about it and when I went back to the store it was still there and I decided that it was mine! I am not a tea drinker but I have always loved the shapes and sizes and variety of design of teapots. In this painting I backlit the teapot with natural and studio lighting. I was experimenting with the changing values and shadow. 8X8 inches oil Raymar Canvas Panel (Archival)
