I painted these tomatoes as a response to the "Paint Your Vegetables!" challenge on the Daily PaintWorks website.
I bought a small container of tomatoes at the market, and when I opened it I found that there was a variety of shapes and colors in the box. My favorites were the small, brownish-red ones. They were almost maroon. It's a good thing I painted them quickly, because I left the plate on the kitchen island and they were quickly eaten as snacks. Every time someone walked by, they'd pop a tomato in their mouths.
Great colors and very cool composition!
ReplyDeleteSuch nice colours! Almost too pretty to eat : )
ReplyDeleteI agree - great colors & composition. The thumbnail of this caught my eye - love it!
ReplyDeleteI love the variety of colours available in tomatoes. Not only are they a feast for the eyes when eating, but also when painting! Well done and great choice of subject! Thanks for the visit also!
ReplyDeleteWonderful job on the medley- gorgeous values too on all the tomatoe colors- Sounds like you have been busy with new house planning- have fun with that and I am sure it will be beautiful too! Take care:)
ReplyDeletefestive! I love the "variety"!
ReplyDeleteGreat colors and reflections! I can see why they snack on them..looks very good!
ReplyDeleteGreat job Virginia! i really love the violet (I just accidentally typed violent, tee hee) shadows against the yellow. And great job grouping them too, it's a nice composition.
