Glass Fruit Pastel Again

I posted my sketch from yesterday on our family chat and David immediately asked if the bowl was round or my photo?  Hmmm.  The glass was off both in height and roundness but it was a sketch I expected to wipe off anyway.  But I took the challenge and worked on the roundness last night.  I took a photo and realized the glass was too tall, maybe it would help to make it shorter and work on the rim.

It was late so again this morning I worked on it.    I now have several hours in the sketch/painting.  I should stop now.  It is always a "guess" as when to be finished and stop on a painting.  An artist (me) can keep fiddling for ages.  Sometimes the painting is even framed and you just have to take it out and work on it again.

Here is the new version:

And the old version:

 

 

I do think the new version is better, but never perfect.  Maybe good enough to frame, now.  It is on 9 x 12 paper but would crop it to this 8 x 8 inch size.  Thinking.......
