Tomatoes of the heirloom variety

After a long holiday layoff, during which I recovered from a major operation, took a workshop on using my iphone camera app, and painted multiple small cavalier sketches for the Swan House, I am back in  the studio at last,  working on tomato paintings I started last year.

Today, I tackled the heirloom tomatoes and a Global knife. Borrowed that knife from the contractor who worked with me on my bathroom, a terrific woman with a keen sense of design.

This morning was all about placing tomato colors. I've got their names written down somewhere - a Mr Stripey is all I can bring to mind. They are still floating, and the knife got no paint at all, but progress was made. Going to go pop it in the drying box.
