This week's theme: Tomatoes

Like so many people, we have a garden. We look forward to the fresh vegetables and herbs - peppers, basils, oreganos, okra and squash are just a few of the seedlings in the ground. However, like so many backyard gardeners, our most eagerly anticipated garden harvest will be the tomatoes.

Originally done for an Ebay group challenge. This is done in coloured pencil using the Masterful color technique of starting first with a complimentary colour. In this, green for the tomato first and gradually building layer upon layer to attain the final rich red colour. The same was done for the water, so that the "splash" captured all of the colours of the movement.
