Reworking a ‘finished’ piece:
This a la prima piece seemed complete, and I signed it. But on viewing a week later, I was not happy with the shape of the glass vase or the overall shadows and highlights. The mid tone values were too close.

The reworked painting has more contrast in the shadows, looser highlights on the flowers and cloth, and a cylindrical glass vase to balance the green jar. Quite a few changes on a small 8 x 10" piece, but I'm more satisfied now.
