I have decided to show the last several fires of this painting just as a photo of the image.  

 I have darkened the background, added some texture by wiping out, to the dark cloth bringing that dark value down into the cherries and the inside bowl. All the cherries have more paint and the creamer has washes of color in more places.  I darkened the stems in the vase.   The top table cover is washed in using a light tan color.  Since there is a crochet edge, that was wiped out along the edge.  I used a blue to strengthen the shadow near the creamer.  now I will fire at 1400-1450 degrees in the kiln.
