Zach named this one and made the suggestion that I paint our olive oil. I appreciate how he is always trying to encourage me on this art journey. The tomato was little intimidating to me, but I like how it turned out!
Here are a couple of other shots.

This painting was my second attempt at painting jalapeƱos. My first painting was a different composition and I overworked it. I'm much happier with this one. :)

After several days of not painting it was so nice to paint something and like how it turned out. When I feel stuck or frustrated with what I've been painting, I'll often try painting a fruit or vegetable. Not because they are easy for me, but they are easier! I tried painting more thinly by adding some mineral spirits to my paint, but just a little. Then I tried going back in some places with thicker paint mixed with medium for the details. I kept the edges softer than in the past.
