This painting is changed from my original posting: I used glazes to darken the background and add reflections from the pear in various locations. I also applied a final coat of varnish.

Ruby, Thank you very much.

Rick I really like this painting. The grapes are so well done, they look almost real. The pear is gorgeous in a lovely loose style and the jug is superb. The dark background fits the picture. GORGEOUS art.

I like the curve of the stalk and the soft edges in your painting

Nice job ! I went back to see your original post. Its makes a big improvement to darken the background and more reflected light colors add life to the objects. Thanks for sharing the changes, we can all learn from your changes !
