These three ripe tomatoes were hand painted. The original is a still life oil painting. Three tomatoes sit on a wooden porch. There is a lot of perspective in the wooden boards.The red orange tomatoes are a bit shiny. Produce can be beautiful in artwork. Colors in this art art are red, orange, green, blue, and gray. There is a small amount of white and perhaps yellow, in some areas.
................................
These tomatoes were painted from life, meaning that they posed for me; I did not use a photograph. The location was outdoors; does this mean the painting was done en plein air? I love painting things that I am actually viewing. Painting from a photo can be effective, fulfilling, and sometimes necessary, but there is something extra exciting about looking at the actual object--or landscape--and bringing it to life on canvas. I strive to take a plain, ordinary object, and bring out its beauty as I paint it.

Speaking of tomato...

Explore rough, rocky landscapes and old, crumbling buildings, made of rocks, stone, stucco, and wood. There are paintings of Louisiana and the southwest states of Texas, Colorado, Utah, and New Mexico. You'll also find fanciful works of imagination. These are the paintings of Lenora De Lude. "When I look at the beauty and majesty of creation, I know I can never duplicate the work of the ultimate Master, God Himself. But He has put a creative spark into me, and so I create. Come and see my creations. Pick up a few prints and cards. More will be added soon, and then more after that."
