Tomatoes

Wow, it's been soooooo hot here this week!  Today reached 44C(which is 111.2F) and of course I had to go to Adelaide today, I think it was cooler at home.  It's going to be 46C tomorrow.  The heat feels as red as the tomatoes I have drawn.  Lucky I have a portable air conditioner which does a good enough job of cooling my place down.
 
Trying to get back into the swing of things after Christmas-New Year chaos.  Attempting to do more art but most times lately my mental illness gets in the way.  Have kind of remedied that by taking an extra small dose of medication during the day.  I'm a little bit more drowsy but I can live with that for now.
 
Moving on to something happy.  I drew the tomatoes a while ago and I really enjoyed it.  I love the skin on tomatoes, it's so soft and has a wonderful glow.  I love the depth of colour.  I think I'll try another fruit or vegetable next, see how I go.
