My husband Joe went on a trip to Petaluma, California and came across an acquaintance from a long time ago, Michael Whitlow.  I knew that Michael is a self-taught artist, and learned he has his own gallery in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.  I went to his website and viewed his paintings.  Very beautiful still lifes.

       Seeing his work Inspired me to do a still life, on my newly constructed still life box.  Found 3 tomatoes from my garden that were very beautiful.  Painted the background in Ron DiCianni's style.  "Garden Tomatoes" turned out really well, I thought.  The technique of glazing worked very well here to make the tomatoes glow.  Even before I was done, I decided that I would paint a zucchini squash from my garden. 

     When I joined Hemet Valley Art Association and began entering my artwork in their competitions, this is the first one I put in, in the Bronze category, the first level.  I won second place, which thrilled me.
