Since my "tomato tango" went so quick, I thought I'd try for a second on the same day. Something a little harder: the Bok Choy photo that's been on my mind. I love the shape of bok choy, and I wanted to use another of my tiny 4x6 canvases which the bok choy fit. I felt ready to tackle it! And then, screech, I fell into the familiar fussing over edges. When I look at it today, I shouldn't have centered it on the canvas. I should have done a bit more up-close and off-center. And that dark velvet background. Not sure how that came to be. I put the leaf veins in with the rubber-tipped paint remover. At the end, I mushed up some of the edges, because the point was to not stress the edges, so I had to at least give the illusion that the edges were "whatever". But I was successful in not paper-toweling the brush-strokes out of the painting.
