This is a great summer time theme.  We wait all year for those big red tomatoes from the garden.  I have to paint them quickly because they don't last long.
I painted this original painting in my backyard.  I have a gazebo where I paint, protected from the sun, all summer long.  It's great!!
This painting is done in oils on a wood panel and is framed.  The paint is applied with a palette knife and is thick.  You can see the robust marks in the paint.
