Tomato on Checkered Cloth

6" x 6", Still Life, Oil on Acrylic Panel, Price $50.,  (Click To Buy)

I was in a little rush when I tried to scan a previous post "Tomato with Cup" it wasn't dry and I ruined  it.  I decided to fix it and it wasn't pretty,  I then set up the still life and came up with this one.  I used to tell my students to just stop and start another one, you waste more time fixing it than it would take to make a better one.  I should have remembered my own advice.
