Tomato #158

Cadmium Lemon, Cadmium Red Light, Viridian Green and white

The last of the series, focusing on the Cadmium Lemon, this one was effortless. Again, I started with an olive mixed from all three colors and just kept adding lemon and white to shape the tomato. The background was the same olive with more red and the shadow side was more viridian. I think I would be happier if I could have gotten more warm color into it but it seemed to escape me on this one. As I've stated before, Cad. Lemon has such a tendency to green it is difficult to get it to be warm-but the whole idea is pushing and pulling warms and cools to accomplish this.
