Cherry Tomatoes

Day Eleven-30 Paintings in 30 Days
6"x8" oil on board
These cherry tomatoes are from my garden...I leave them on my window sill to ripen properly! This painting was a bit of a marathon, my windows are aluminum and I had problems trying to get them to look like that! Never painted aluminum before..and won't ever again!! Anyway this is my number 11 painting! I am going to have a big glass of wine now!!!

    Beautiful painting Karen, the tomatoes really 'pop' against your grey aluminum window frame......even if it did cause you trouble ! :-)
