teeny tiny still life painting from today! "tomatoes" 4" x 4" acrylic painting on canvas (featuring tomatoes from Back Achers Farm )

first I sketched the tomatoes in real time, I had direct sunlight that gave me hard edges in the shadows and negative shapes that were really interesting. I arranged the tomatoes in front of me to give a nice composition

I used a burnt sienna to lay down my shadows and midtones. I avoided overworking the areas and used a small round brush to carve out the shapes

once I was satisfied with the shadows, I began adding color! by this time, the sun had moved and the shadows I started with were no longer there so I was glad I seized the moment when I did!

I love how the deep red peeks through the shadows and edges adding a glow and warmth overall!

tomatoes with their beautifully stiff and wonky stems are one of my favorite things to draw 🍅

I absolutely am in love with how this turned out and I am looking forward to what I can paint on the remaining 3 tiny canvases I have!

I think it shows

life these days... pouring myself into every creative nook and cranny. like an english muffin. like I'm the melty butter and my sketchbooks and canvases are the nooks and crannys... it's close to dinner time and I'm hungry if you couldn't already tell

summer time has me feeling a certain way 🌷🌸🌼 journaling, sketching, healing, rejuvenating, being unapologetically me. it's all unfolding in a way I couldn't have planned for but am ready to receive open heartedly 💓 love u. thank u always

mini paintings 🌟 gouache and colored pencils on watercolor paper. roughly 3"x4"

I'll be on the hunt for frames for these guys (the frames I originally intended to use don't work out as nicely as I had hoped unfortunately)

this is also the only day all holiday weekend where we saw sunlight and no rain 🥲 currently sitting outside writing this trying to make the most of it. although the weather didn't go as expected it was still a nice break with time spent with friends and creating.

I'm seeing bangs are going viral for some reason... they never went away in my world. I love painting them and had to share just a handful of paintings and sketchbook drawings featuring my girls with bangs 💇‍♀️💁‍♀️ (we all know is the official fringe spokesperson here)
