Vines... They are almost as cool as cherry stems

I have already talked about how much I love painting cherry stems (and cherries in general) - but have I mentioned that there is something almost as cool as cherry stems?  Tomatoes on the vine!  The vine has the same crooked linear shapes that the cherry stems provide - and the tomatoes offer a rich reddish orange color with soft highlights.  They are enjoyable to paint, but I do find the color of the tomato a little more difficult to nail than the color of a cherry.  I guess that is what practice is for!  

Tell me what you think!
