I have a bit to work on still, but I am pretty happy with this.  If you look back at my earlier still life studies, you can see I am improving.

Later, I tried to make final touches in my room at home with insufficient lighting, and I sort of ruined what I thought was a solid painting.  I gave up disgruntled. In the morning, when I timidly approached my easel, I decided I would sign it with an unassuming autograph in the shadow. I am not sure how I feel about it, but I am moving on from this one.
