So you should be - these tomatoes not only live, but are a damn' sight more advanced that the tomatoes we've been trying to grow here; ours are still green......

Thanks Robert,....I've have it on good authority that if you (a) talk to your tomatoes, (b) play classical music in the background,.....they will not only give in and ripen, they will beg to be picked, cut up and thrown into a ham sandwich!!

Great design in this ...... well done.

I'll convey that to the gardener of the family, Paul..... although I think a greenhouse might have helped, as well....

Thanks Avril. The credit for the design is all down to Sue Deighton. I really enjoyed the fact that it is a completely different subject matter to any of my other paintings, has a completely different look and feel to it and I am definitely going to try and apply this style to something of my own at some point.

My attempt at SAA 'Try your hand at'....Sue Deighton's Tomatoes. Another step by step project from a professional artist. Sue's painting was in acrylics (which i don't have) so I couldn't follow her instructions fully. This painting allowed me to paint a subject I never thought I'd paint in a thousand years and to see just how opaque I could make my paints by adding white gouache. I enjoyed it and I'm pleased with the result.
