Mustard and tomato
Oil on board, 15 x 20 cm (= about 6 x 8 inches):
After a long battle with lack of sun and tough clay soil, I finally managed to get a tomato plant to grow and produce a few fruit. Makes for a nice edible model!

Cherry Tomatoes and Miniature Bottle
Oil on board, 20 x 15 cm (= about 8 x 6 inches):
My cherry tomato bush is beginning to bear more fruit than I know what to do with. Still life is one possible function of cherry tomatoes, but they're so small it is usually preferable to combine them with other small items. Luckily I have a small collection of such trinkets...
