Caroline your painting has a great potential to be really outstanding. I feel you are just a hair away from it.

I would reconsider only 3 areas. One is the shape and the blue color of the jar top. It looks like bended towards left-bottom. The blue in the light area needs to be much more vibrant to "read" as light. Second is a background. The color is almost there, but the value and vibrancy is not. It needs to be toned down (grayed) and darkened , especially in the top left half. The last is the horizon line . It needs to soft blend into the background with softly blended shades so that it does not disturb the viewer.

I am so excited about the potential I see in it that I am almost tempted to ask if I can have a pleasure of seeing the revised version, if you decide to go for it. Thank you!

I like the second version you did, probably more than the 1st. Your color & tone add a sense of drama & your jar shape is spot on! Well done!
