Fruit and Vegetables

Spent yesterday taking photos of tomatoes & knives. Still in garden today - worked on peaches on a silver tray.


Then back to the the Mae West of tomatoes on an aqua plate with Carpenter's (my painting teacher's) knife.

Peaches & Japanese Knife

Pulled out a painting I started last fall, before I got sidetracked by the portrait idea. It's a variation on my ongoing love affair with knives and tomatoes -  peaches on a silver tray. Messed around on the surface of the fruit and the knife, then worked on the under color of the silver tray. The trees outside the window reflected in the rim. Actually looking forward to doing the engraving lines, mostly swirling. I'll probably end up as enamored with the tray as I am with the fruit.
