Tomato & Asparagus -A Love Story Oil - Still Life Sold

I had fun with this one even though it does not have fur or feathers! The client told me that he and his fiance referred to each other as "Tomato" and "Asparagus" and she would send little sketches to him. He figured it was time to have a "Portrait" done of them and this was a gift for her birthday.

I added a few extras because I knew them. He is a massive insect lover and used to tease me about Lady Bugs really being Lady Beetles so I could not resist adding one to help pollinate the flowers. I told them the flowers were a symbol of their love (and fertility!!) past, present and future!

I am told that she cried when she received it, and although not my goal, I am happy to have been part of their "love story"!
