THE LAST TOMATO IN PAT'S GARDEN

The Last Tomato in Pat's Garden, 12 x 16 inch watercolor by George C. Clark SOLD

Whenever I do a a "Traveler's Sketchbook" exhibition like the recent one at Beverly Arts Center I describe the subjects as "ranging from the artist's own Chicago backyard to the back roads of Europe." Here is a painting from my back yard. I painted it late in the season when the climbing beans had gone crazy and there was a single tomato still ripening. I asked my wife to leave some of her tools out so that they could be in the picture.
