Red and Green - Original Oil Painting - Tomato Still Life - 12x12 inches

A vibrant celebration of nature's perfect color pairing.

"Red and Green" is a lush original oil painting that brings the freshness of the garden indoors. The composition centers on a cluster of **ripe, bright red tomatoes**: one large and whole, sitting alongside two cut halves that reveal their juicy, seed-filled interiors. Behind them, a **lush green houseplant** spills out of a **dark blue pot**, framing the red fruit with fresh, leafy foliage. The scene is bathed in bright, dappled sunlight that casts crisp shadows, enhancing the feeling of a warm summer day.

Painted on a larger **hand-primed cradled wood canvas** (12x12 inches), this piece uses Alai’s signature **impasto brushwork** to capture the taut skin of the tomatoes and the organic flow of the leaves. It creates a dynamic interplay between the warm, fiery reds and the cool, refreshing greens.
