I do love painting tomatoes! Maybe it's the richness of the reds, or the highlights, or even the gnarled vines....I just enjoy painting them. I guess maybe I hope people enjoy looking at them, too!

This upcoming weekend I will be participating in the one day Beacon Original Art Spring Show and Sale. It takes place at Bridgeland - Riverside Community Hall, 917 Centre Avenue NE in Calgary, Alberta. It will be open Saturday only from 10:00 to 4:00. Come on out and take in the work of 13 Amazing artists! I will be featuring many of my dailies in this event.
Hope to see you there!

This was a fun daily done on my annual painting trip with Tammy Watt. Although I worked on larger pieces for my grain elevator series (upcoming show - Nov/Dec 2011), it was nice to loosen up and continue to sharpen my skills with a few dailies. I enjoyed the limited color palette with this little painting, and arranging the utensils for the perfect composition. I can see a repeat of this subject matter coming up!
