Promenade Oil on board 9" X 12"

                                                                      

                                                                         

I love this time of year and through

the Fall as produce begins to ripen and is showcased so beautifully in 

grocery stores and produce stands. 

One of my favorites is the little cherry tomatoes

that you can easily down in one or two bites. They are vividly 

colorful, and they provide the artist an opportunity to 

blend analogous colors ( reds, oranges, and yellows) and

complementary colors (reds and greens.)

For more fun

the green tops which can go in sometimes comedic directions

offer another opportunity to be creative.

I find at times that reds are difficult to photograph.

The camera wants to merge the different values of reds into

a single value. So sometimes  it's hard to pick up the subtleties

of each hue. With a little photo editing I think the true colors came through in the

tomatoes, the vine and other greenery. 

Although the background appears white it is actually a

very soft, pale, warm yellow which I worked and worked over again to try to match and couldn't quite get it.

Just think white corn or platinum blonde and you have the background color!

I hope your week is wonderful and you'll see all the beauty around you!!
