Tomato 150

Cadmium Lemon., Cadmium Orange, Thalo Turquoise and Permalba White

First in the next series of three, this one was painted with the emphasis on the thalo turquoise, not that that is hard-thalo turquoise is a very dominating color, as you can see it influences every part of this painting. Thalo and lemon make a brilliant green. I used quite a bit of orange to warm the shadow side and top of the tomato although it is not readily visible- results in a nice olive color. This tomato does have a cool atmosphere and these colors can result in quite a few off beat colors; none of which you would expect just looking at what is on the palette.
