Backyard Toms celebrates one of summer’s simplest pleasures: tomatoes ripened close to home and looking entirely too good not to paint.

Three plump red tomatoes rest against a richly textured, hand-decoupaged background. Their brilliant reds and rounded forms play against the pattern beneath them, giving this small still life warmth, depth, and plenty of personality.

At just 6 × 6 inches, Backyard Toms is a cheerful little tribute to gardens, summer abundance, and the everyday things that are worth stopping to notice.
