New Tomato Painting

"EH Tomato"
5" x 6" acrylic and collage on paper

So, I'm wondering if I should start calling these paintings "Abstills"? They're not a traditional still life...and not quite an abstract. Let's see...how about "Lifestracts"? NOT!

I don't know if any of you watch the "American Masters" series on PBS? We watched one the other night about Annie Leibovitz that was wonderful. I've always loved her work and I appreciate her even more now. Her photos are powerful and unique. You always know a Leibovitz photo when you see it.

By the way...I DID start an Abby Creek Etsy shop so take a looksie when you have some time. I just posted the above painting for sale.

Hi Linda! I adore your EH Tomato! Its color and shape are great. Abstills and Lifestracts are fun names! And I also really like Annie Leibovitz -- her photos are fantastic. Have you seen her new book of photos? I checked out your Etsy shop and it looks so beautiful -- all your paintings look gorgeous! Very cool.

I've said it before but your fruit and veg are so realistic Linda, I could reach into the picture and pluck the tomato from the painting, just lovely.

Your etsy shop looks great, Linda! Congratulations, and good luck. Wonderful new tomato painting, too. I like BOTH of the names for your paintings, but I think I leaning toward Abstills. Fun!

I visited your etsy shop and loved it - one of these days, I will buy one of your lovely creations.

These abstract/still life pictures are fresh and vibrant. I love the colours! And I love the Abby Doll you received. It is gorgeous ... the crown and wings are beautiful touches!
