Vegies for a Change

Yes, i switched from fruit to veggies for this fifth painting.




Not sure what i think about this painting. I guess i'll have to wait a couple of days and look at it again. Right now i am uncomfortable with it, but don't know why. It has an unfinished quality, but that's not necessarily bad. It does seem a bit simplistic, but then i've been told that its not good to explain everything, that you should leave something for the viewer to finish. Anyway, just for comparison here is a photo of the still life.

PS I wonder if the painting is what my teacher calls "symbolic", that is painting what you think you see instead of what you see?
