Rotten Tomatoes

6" x 8"
Tomatoes #33

It was foggy this morning, so I decided to paint these rotten tomatoes. The little one at the top is oozing it's tomato-guts out the back, but I took my artistic license and chose to spare you the gore and just paint the pretty side. I bet you would have never guessed it.  
It was fun painting still life again- super simple compared to the landscapes I've been painting lately. I was trying to be loose and free with my brush work, it's looser than some of my earlier still lifes, but I still have more room to improve.  

I primed a bunch more panels for next week.  I like painting on Gessoboard Panels, but they need a layer of color on them first. I use Tim Horn's method of mixing a pale warm fleshy color thats a light value. A couple of coats, then you're ready to paint. I'll take a photo next post so you can see what I'm talking about.
