Indigo blueberry cherry tomatoes are a small late summer fruit. As they ripen, they slowly transform from green to a deep red then become a deep indigo purple. The fruit grows in large elongated clusters. They are rich in anthocyanin, naturally occurring antioxidants.
I took my reference photos for this painting at the end of the growing season last fall. Olde Haven Farm had these growing in one of their hoop houses. During the late summer and fall, these tomatoes were among their best sellers. People at both farmers’ markets searched Olde Haven Farm’s produce for this fancy little sweet fruit.
I painted this view on Arches 140 lb. Cold-Pressed watercolor paper with Daniel Smith watercolor paints, Dr. Ph. Martin Hydrus Watercolors.

In Colorado, she studied under Janet Nunn, an award...
