# 31 Tomatoes on a Shelf

This painting done for the WDE  Aug 17th 2012  hosted by Susan aka surob  along with #27 so it isn't quite 31 but I am not going to upset the numbering... 

Small wet on wet 24 x 18 on cotton cloth pasted on cutting board with gesso.

 I wasn't happy with the colors so I didn't post it time. Unfortunately I didn't scan/photograph the WIP. This is oils with added oil pastels... Tomatoes seem a bit roughed up...

Well I should have left well enough alone!!! Lesson learned!!! Finished this with a layer of oil pastels after wiping clean the area of the tractor.  Recently  learned from a tutorial about common mistakes students make.  Don't get emotionally attached... not every piece is a masterpiece... learn to MOVE ON!!!!

. Should have fixed it with oils to keep the strokes fresh!!
