Tomato Dreams - Oil Painting

Tomatoes and I go way back. I grew up with tomato plants. I remember one particular year in which we had so many of them it almost looked like a tomato forest. My vegetable hating younger brother was so overwhelmed by it and started excecuting the plants and tomatoes behind my mom's back. Boy, she was NOT happy..

While I don't have such a grand garden anymore, I still keep two tomato plants every year and they yield pretty good during summer. This year me and my daughter planted some early girl tomatoes and they are already flowering and has some baby tomatoes. We are dreaming shiny tomatoes :)
