My neighbor-artist-friend Sam gave me these heirloom tomatoes to paint. I tried to do them justice. She was also kind enough to let me eat them when I was done.
I'm not familiar with this type of tomato. They sort of look like bells that should be on Rudolph the reindeer. Which makes me want to open some presents.
We don't often see them up here but I have seen them and I think you got the colour just right Jala and I like how it contrasts and harmonizes with the background.
Me too, Bill... reindeer always make me want to open presents, so I quickly peeked at your site and laughed my ass off. The nuns talked about hand cancer; we thought they were kidding. Nice fruit, Jala. They taste good?
I'm a painter (and writer and Spanish instructor) living in beautiful Boulder, Colorado. I studied classical art in an ARC (Art Renewal Center) school, Colorado Academy of Art, full-time for two years, in order to benefit from the rigorous atelier-style training. I am currently dedicated to exploring abstract and semi-abstract art, working in oil and also in soft pastel. I firmly believe that all human beings are creative, whether or not they have yet found an outlet for the innate creative urge, and that the creative arts are the highest form of human expression.

A sweet little painting... those tomatoes look almost translucent. Certainly good enough to eat!

You really nailed this one Jala! They look like two jewels, and the translucency is wonderful.
