Ode to the tomato

Labor Day sort of marks the end of summer....the end of home grown fresh tomatoes!
Enjoying some of the last of summers bounty, It seemed fitting to honor them in a special way...a painting of just tomatoes! As the weather turns cooler and the days shorter, I will look back and smile...remembering a yummy fresh tomato sandwich!



This is a small still life 8x6 oil on panel. I enjoyed painting this with warm and cool reds. The shadows also reflect warm and cool hues. Simple yet a strong statement...no need to over power the Tomato!
If you have an interest in this painting or any of the others on my blog..please contact me!!
