These tomatoes were so ripe that I was afraid they wouldn't last long enough under the lights to paint them! There is something about the color of a vine ripened tomato that is hard to paint. There is blue and umber and cadmium red and a bit of alizarin, cadmium yellow and yellow ochre... a real challenge.

This painting has made the journey to New Mexico where it will be on display at The Art Garden Gallery in Eldorado. I'll post a link to their website as soon as the gallery opens in December
