The election has eaten up my life. I have a million things in various states of not finished. The election is next week, and then there will be lots of intense art-ing over the summer. Which means I will be highly distracted, so if you want to sneak away from this blog without me noticing, now is the time. 😉
I did, by virtue of a severely sprained ankle, manage to hold still long enough to complete my tomato, which I admit came out better than I expected. I was trying several new things out which shouldn’t work together, but apparently do. Paint and learn, yes?
Tomato
Watercolor
10×10.75
The very tip of the leaf got cut off in scanning. Oops.
It has nothing to do with anything, but each time I look at this I hear Virginia Mayo, from the movie A Song Is Born (which is a remake of Ball of Fire), climbing the stairs and saying “And I want you to look at me, Professor Frisbee, as another tomato. Just another tomato.”
No relation whatever to this painting, but I love the movie. It has little whatever in the way of plot, but lots of lovely music including the Golden Gate Quartet, which are fabulous.
I couldn’t find a clip of that part on Youtube, so instead you can have this one of Virginia Mayo singing. ‘Cause that is okay, too.
