"Summer Staples" by Marilyn M King


"Summer Staples"

6"x 6" Oil on board. $99. + $8. s&h

The tomatoes, even from the grocery, have been so flavorful this year. Kenn and I have them sliced for almost every meal. I have to buy them as soon as we are out just like any staple in our pantry.

Last summer I did a series of tomato paintings and found that I love painting them. I prefer rendering a whole tomato in a very tight way in order to represent that beautiful smooth skin, then when painting the sliced ones I can have fun with swirling the paint around.
