These are onions from church this past Sunday (someone has a food ministry, collects leftovers from some of the organic stores in the area, brings them in for the church folks.)

Here's my Fast Slow sketch:

I finished it today by walking and standing to study the scene, then back inside to cool down and paint. It's not exactly what I was seeing, but pretty anyway.
