'You Say Tomato, I Say I'll Sue You If You Step on My Lawn' is seen on display here at a 2024 Art Fair. The 5x7 painting with hand-torn edges is framed in an elegant vintage gold frame.
wanted to give all the paintings in my ‘Farmer’s Market Garden’ collection quirky names that played on common phrases and garden puns. This piece pairs the classic “tomato/tomaahto” line with a Taylor Swift lyric (something you’ll find often in my painting names, if you’re paying attention). I chose “I’ll sue you if…” because we have struggled immensely with garden pests (rabbits and squirrels, I’m looking at you!) this summer to the point where I do find myself yelling and chasing them out of my yard in anger. SO there you have it. the story behind a very long name for a very small painting.
