Three Tomatoes

I recently painted some still lifes with fruits and vegetables. Two of them are part of a local show called Visions XIII. The opening was last night and several friends came to see the show. The problem was they all gave me such a hard time about my titles. Yes, I realize they are pretty lame. Is it certainly something I can work on to improve? Absolutely!  Instead of Three Tomatoes they suggested Pre-Salsa. I don't know what do you think?

I have been working on some still life lately. I have noticed that I am getting a little tighter than usual. I don't know what that is about. I am struggling with backgrounds and shadows. I have also been experimenting with some transparent glazes. This will be good practice I think in the long run. This subject reminds me of Easter when we used to have these for lunch on Easter Sunday. I don't think I even ate one of these until I was an adult, but our family loved the process of eating one. They are pretty yummy.
