Traditional Artwork of the Month Contest Entry 
Day 1. Adding to kitchen collection of fruit and veg. In unusual still life situ. Displayed tangerines, basil leaves and red cabbage in a display similar to that in a magazine. Sketched out on prepared canvas. Day 2. Used alcohol pens for under painting. Intention to do acrylic top and details. Day 3. Pen work dried. I liked the effect. Wondered if the pens would take a preserving finish. Sought advice. Some said pens unstable can do strange things. I read spray with a spray adhesive then varnish. Day 4. Decided to spray adhesive. Got interrupted went back and did the spray. Returned later and it had all run. See second picture. I checked spray and found I had used hair spray not the adhesive one. Lessons learned.. when interrupted recheck your actions and tools. I had done a test piece. See lesson. 2 Now I have a mess. But hubby likes it. Lesson 3 will be how I corrected it all. Art can be fun. So they say.
