For the first time in its seven year history I entered artwork into the Tomato Art Fest held in East Nashville. Two paintings and one illustration. Meg, the gallery owner, asked if I would be willing to do some more illustrations for the show so of course I said yes. Over the last few days I’ve been working on tomato and other vegetable illustrations and recently dropped them off at the Art and Invention gallery where the show will be held. If you’ve never been I encourage you to go as it is a fun time and best of all it’s free! Here is my entry titled “Tomato Rap” for your perusal. It’s a short story demonstrating the power of the tomato and incorporates the motto of the Tomato Art Fest: “The tomato, a uniter, not a divider.” Hope you enjoy.
