Tomato #156

Cadmium Lemon, Cadmium Red Light, Viridian Green and white.

I think I must have a  mental block against Cad. Red Lt. as it took me two attempts to get an acceptable result. I seem to have trouble getting the right light without also getting mud. I think I finally got there but it is much less intense than I expected.This is another first in a series of three, using the red as my dominant color. The light area seems cooler and the shadow side seems warmer, but it seems to work. I especially like the cast shadow and how it changes from warm to cool. I had to paint this at night because I painted with the plein air group today at Alms Park. Great Location!
