Going Bananas

I painted a bunch of ripe bananas today. Tried to go back to basics, and paint masses of color, so i desperately tried not to think "banana" while i painted. I was only partly successful in that. Composition wise, i should have moved the bananas more to the left so that i had more room to play with the shadows. So here is #7 in my quest to improve my alla prima skills and ready myself for plein air painting.
