Tomato #169

Cadmium Lemon, Quinacridone Red, Thalo Turquoise and Titanium White.

Lots of paint went onto this one. I started with a purple gray and then intense green, a few more strokes and I almost had it. Unfortunately, I had to tweak it a little more, which ended up taking way too much time. I don't think the foreground has quite enough heat or maybe the shadow is not cool enough. There isn't enough cool vrs. warm going on here-it is all cool. It's all about color relationships.
