Painting these tomatos was fun. I wanted them to look a little more comic book/pop art rather than specifically realistic. I was excited to throw down some bright crayola colored red and green. The black shadow goes against so much of what I was taught, but I really like it.
I might play with it to make it even a little more coloring book, but I may leave it as is. I also revisited the green beans and I feel better about them now. I think they're really done.
Next week I might go all out and try to do some lettuce. It's crisp and fresh and wonderful. But I keep psyching myself out when I look at it. Maybe I'll end up doing something easier instead? Or perhaps a still life of multiple vegetables???
I guess we'll see soon enough!

Even though I love green, lettuce sounds too hard and a little boring. How about yellow crookneck squash or egg plant or even your idea of a vegetable still life.
I don't think lettuce is boring. Especially the fancy green or red lettuce. I think you should head to a farmer's market and just figure out what speaks to you. Don't force anything. I saw these yellow watermelon the other day and they looked awesome. Peaches, plums, and nectarines are in season too.
Well, that's my two cents. Happy painting and eating :)
