Latest watercolour need help!

This painting turned out very different to what I had in my head. I am not sure about it. Has any one any ideas on how to improve it? I may even cut it to a different size yet. Thanks

The photo does not really show the colours correctly but you get the drift.

Cheers and blessings

In future work do not depend so closely to a photograph. Sketch out your idea and plan your values and center of interest.

Perhaps cream colour would be better. just a thought, however, the whole of the picture is beautiful

I haven't painted for 3 years. I think your painting is just beautiful, I think the chairs stand out as too solid a colour, beware who you accept as friends on this site, I'm having so much trouble now on facebook.
Keep up your beautiful work
