I am working on a commission for a painting of tomatoes. I put up this study that I painted. It was a challenge working with reds and oranges. Some warm pigments are more opaque than others. Even though white cools colors I added some to the warms to get a better working opacity. A white cloth with a blue stripe through it, to me, is symbolic of a clean French kitchen. Just me.

It finally stopped raining and I going to head out and seize the day. I hope you enjoy my painting.
