DSFDF challenge—Summer vegetables

I decided to give Karin Jurik's Different Strokes for Different Folks challenge, again, before my everything got packed. I was in a hurry because things are a little chaotic here and I am running very late for our last weekend in Bali visiting friends in other parts of the island. Another tough watercolor challenge for me as I constantly struggle with not overworking the painting and ending up with "the dreaded mud". However, this is a great thing to do because it pushes me out of my comfort zone and I have to be very brave to be posted along with other very talented painters.  
I'm really late now...gotta run.

    This is beautiful - certainly not 'mud'! What a lovely loose style you have and, as Deborah says, it all looks to fresh.

    It's beautiful Jennifer--the red of the tomatoes is perfect, and I love the touches of pure blue and how you didn't add much background. And with all that packing going on!

    Wow! This is just beautiful Jennifer. So loose and fresh. I like the touch of red under the corn.
