Went with another tomato. During this challenge I am also exploring techniques and watching and feeling what comes more natural. What happens when I relax and get out of my head. I am not looking for literal anymore. I want something more. So today the edges were blurred, so much so that one is not sure where the tomato leaves off and the back ground begins. A metaphor of my life these days.
A hard day. Up early, way too early. Needed to nap then a phone call from one of my wise daughter's who understood completely what had happened to me with the loss of her father, my husband and how I had to work through so much and how exhausting it all is. But she encouraged me to stay with it and do what I needed from cry, scream, write, sleep, whatever it takes to get to the bottom of it, to me. So I then had some lunch and began to work.

Two weeks, and 14 great paintings! Yea, you, for keeping at it!
I love the tomatoes - both of them. Did you use a painting knifr on this one?
Love this!!!! The melting tomato!!!!
Kathy, thank you! Thank you for the encouragement and yes, I used a knife. I sometimes use knife and brush in the same work, just depends what I am trying to attain at the moment. For some reason I loosen up with the knife, feeling wise.
Thank you, Cindy! Like old times when we were all blogging more regularly! Feels good.
