Oil on canvas, 12”x12”

I go through phases where I love to paint food. These tomatoes looked like big, bright, colorful jewels, and I couldn’t resist painting them.

And look at those juicy light reflections! And that blurred background. It lets me dabble in abstraction, which I absolutely love.

(I’m also growing cherry tomatoes in my garden right now, and they’re the only plant not giving me any grief.)
