Acrylic on plywood 6X7
This was my participation on DSFDF this week;I had some difficulties with the upper tomato, which looks like a cherry, or an apple, but it was pleasant to paint this subject.
Après une longue interruption, j'ai décidé de reprendre ce blog pour y montrer mes peintures, pour la plupart numériques. En effet,depuis environ un an, je me suis initiée à cet art qui était alors complètement nouveau pour moi. Reste donc à appliquer mon apprentissage à de nouvelles réalisations.
I like the cropping of this piece and your composition. The upper tomato looks like a tomato because our eyes tell us it must be one grouped with the other two. I think sometimes we are over critical of our own work!
ReplyDeleteHi Sylviane. You really made a beautiful painting! I've not started the challenge and don't know if I'll be able to participate this time.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Diana, there is nothing wrong with your tomatoes - I'd put them in my sandwich or salad anytime! :-)

Your tomatoes definitely look like real-live garden tomatoes to me! I especially like the way you soomed in on a specific area of the photograph. Very nicely done!
ReplyDeleteGreat cropping and rich color.
ReplyDeleteVery nice work Sylviane ...composition and colors are great! Aren't you happier now that you chose to paint more! lol
ReplyDeleteI wish my tomatoes in my garden look like that! Makes me want a tomato sandwich! Great job!
ReplyDeleteYou have done just great. It reads tomato to me and I love your rich colors.
ReplyDeleteI had the same trouble with that top tomato. I added some little stem leaves ( I don't know what they're called) and that made it look more tomatoey. LOL
ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful composition, nice cropping and colors. I think everyone has had fun with this challenge. Thanks for the nice comment and joining my site. Paris...one of my favorite cities!
ReplyDeleteHi, Sylviane! I think you did a great job with the challenge. I really like the close-cropped composition. Kind regards. Liz
ReplyDeleteHi and thanks for the encouragement. I have painted a little but nothing great. I have the dsfds challenge but my friend has my camera.I will post soon. I guess my mood is not right for creating right now. Who knows. You are doing great by the way.
ReplyDeleteWell, I don't think the tomatoe looks like something else, because our eyes read the other ones as "tomatoes" so it has to be a tomatoe too.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see another painter from France on DSDF.
Sylviane, I'm so glad I've found your site. I was surprised when your page opened. For a second I thought your painting was mine, they look so similar! We have cropped just about the same way. Your tomatoes and everything else look great. And that onion is excellent!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for your nice comments, they all are so welcome!
ReplyDeleteI went on each blog and appreciated your paintings;
with a same picture we have so different ways in painting!
C'est bien, Ghislaine, d'avoir rejoint le groupe, le fait de participer à des challenges est entraînant.
great piece for DSFDF
ReplyDeletela prochaine foi je je lesserais mon commentaire en francais
ReplyDeleteSylviane,
ReplyDeleteI like your cropped view. Your tomatoes look great. My wife said my top two tomatoes looked like tangerines. I think the little depression in the photo on the top tomato looks strange.

Wonderful DSDF! Thank you for visiting my blog...I love the texture you gave your veggies.
ReplyDeleteEh bien , il y'en a des commentaires, qu'elle popularité !
ReplyDeleteJ'aime particulierement les couleurs !!
Wonderful close up composition. Really nice painting. Thanks for stopping by my blog. I enjoyed looking around yours!
ReplyDeleteThanks everybody for all your comments!
ReplyDeleteCould Camille be my dear daughter?
Wonderful job! Love the way you cropped it and your colors are so vivid and full of life. The tomatoes look good enough to eat and are perfect for your composition.
ReplyDeleteI really like when people are expressing their opinion and thought. So I like the way you are writing
