I'm happy with the way this painting turned out but I had a little bit of a hard time with the underpainting. This panel had been wiped off several times and was dry but it was a dark indigo color. I found it hard to paint the lemons on top of that dark ground. Also, I think the cucumbers might show up better on a different color cloth. But I'm not sure - I like the coolness the green gives. Maybe I'll try cucumbers with a different background for my next painting.
