There are many good things about modern life but one of them is not grocery store tomatoes -- they look like tomatoes but taste like wet cardboard with tough skin. But come August, in these parts, one can find gorgeous, fresh, sweet, aromatic, tomato-tasting tomatoes that make one blush with flavour. Here's my attempt to paint such a plate of August flavour as seen on one of my grandmother's Royal Crown Derby blue and white Mikado patterned china plates.
THE PLATE SERIES A series of small paintings of (mostly) food on plates that belonged to my grandmother and then my mother, kind of nostalgia and remembering, I think. The series was started during the COVID lockdown when many of us suddenly had lots of time to contemplate and look at and prepare our food.
Painting is unframed.
