Three Tomatoes oil on claybord 5×7″ $100
Here’s the latest in my kitchen series. I can’t believe how much longer it sometimes takes me to do a tiny still life than to slap down a landscape! The tomatoes were pretty much finished before I was. I did a grisaille underpainting for this one because when you paint something red it’s hard to lighten it afterward without making the light parts too pink. Anyway, I had fun with it. That’s a box top the butter dish is resting on.
