Heirloom Tomato Painting

Shopping at the Burnside Village fruit and veg shop the other day, I spied the most unusual tomatoes. I think they are called Bock tomatoes...
I don't like eating raw tomatoes at all but I was intrigued by the shape of these red fruits.
I bought 3 in the hope I would paint them before Tim got his hands on them!!

Initial sketches of tomatoes, James then added some suggestions!

First layer of paint
 
The final painting...

This was the first time that I have painted in Acrylic and I must say, I rather liked it!
Might put my watercolour brushes away for a while and explore this medium for a while!
