I've waited a day or two for these bananas to ripen a little before painting them. If you live in a part of the country that's getting the same kind of heat we are here in Texas, then you know if doesn't take long for them to go from green to ripe to needing to make banana bread. I could almost see them ripening before my eyes. I even changed the lights I use in my still life box to ones that don't get as warm so they wouldn't brown as I painted.
