What a great day for tomatoes.  

I've been using cerulean blue almost exclusively on my palette and today I switched to ultramarine....I think it softened the colors a bit more.  Add the red tomatoes and yellow-green plate....you can't ask for a more "primary" statement :)

Just Apples

I think apples are one of my favorite fruits to paint.  In an odd way they have a very geometric shape.  I placed them on top of an organic handmade ceramic plate....just to juxtapose.

Pear Study

It's been a while since I've painted anything 

so I thought I'd start with a study of pears.  

I'll paint them until they need to be eaten!
