sunday tomato 2
Aren't tomatoes great! They are sooooo iconic. Their form is clearly based in one of most elementary geometric shapes known to man, add a red that is strong, fiery and passionate and you have the makings of a very expressive graphic image and some pretty good spaghetti sauce too!
On Sunday morning I was making coffee and my eye was drawn to a couple of tomatoes ripening on our windowsill next to the kitchen sink. I couldn't resist the inspiration to create tomato art. So I began taking pictures. Like the current clover flower painting that I have been working on for the last couple weeks these tomato photos evoke a sense of Summer, simplicity and child like innocence. But what I really like most of all is how silly they look.
Hopefully sometime soon I will get back to work and finish the clover painting.
