here you can see all the different reds I have on the left! Hmmm. What else can I paint after tomatoes?

YOU FIRST!



It's been a while since my last post but I am back in the painting zone. Yesterday I went to Whole Foods and bought a bunch of fruits and veggies so I could do some small fun stillifes. The strawberries were the first victims as they go bad pretty fast. I used a brush for this one and decided that the yellow cloth background was a good companion to the red fruit. I have a palette full of great red colors, so this afternoon I will start a painting of tomatoes. Oil on gesso panel, 8 " x 8". I have the perfect frames for these guys, a rustic black painted 2 3/4" with gold lip. Yummy!
