This is excellent Marjorie, like the idea of using the newspaper.

Thanks for commenting, Gudrun and Paul. Have been out of the swing of things recently but " signs of Autumn" is our first weekly topic for our Art club - we have a weekly newsletter to keep in touch. We were beginning to just chat, rather than paint!

What a beautiful and original idea, Marjorie!

Like this, a good mixed media piece. You've painted those green tomatoes extremely well.

A great idea and very well executed, well done Marjorie.

This is effective, Marjorie, great idea with the newspaper.

You can smell autumn in the air Marjorie. A lovely idea and beautifully painted.

Beautifully painted Marjorie, they look so real!!! A lovely idea. We have eaten all ours!!!!

Superb Marjorie, brilliant idea

Thank you very much everyone! Who would have thought tomatoes would be popular! I learned quite a bit from doing this and dipped into my acrylics again.

Love the concept. The toms look just great. (We have a bunch on our kitchen window cill.)

They look fantastically real Marjorie.

Oh heck Marjorie, for a moment I thought you’d painted the newspaper as well! Even so, brilliant painting of one of those everyday subjects that shouldn’t be ignored! Lovely job.

Thanks, Lewis, Lynn and Tessa - was a bit crafty, not painting that newspaper - should have kept quit but would you have believed me?😉

Very effective Marjorie.

Love this Marjorie everything about it.

A wonderful idea for a painting ... looks great.

Many thanks, Linda, Carole and David. For next week the topic is " wind" ( had a bit of a laugh but that's my sense of humour😁), you can always join me? Post next Monday?

Those look like you could just pick them up, Marjorie! So good.

Thank you Margaret and Romila - I wish you would pick some up Margaret, we had to eat them again tonight! Can't be bothered to make chutney.

WOW! An excellent painting. As in fact is all of your work Marjorie :)

Thank you very much Jill. In fact We did make tomato chutney and it was very nice.

You've captured a lovely composition within the overall pattern of tomatoes: lovely.

I love how you have created a lovely composition with the red tomatoes within the overall "pattern" of the painting. Well done.

Thank you very much Gavin. My husband was very proud of those tomatoes!😄

Acrylic on mdf. Painted over glued down newspaper. Husband's tomatoes, brought indoors to ripen, tomatoes with everything methinks, we've got a glut!
