My First Still Life....or 2 Days Spread Over 2 Weeks

I was eager to finish, because now I am inspired to do a different painting, and I didn't want to leave this unfinished - and I need the space the still life objects were taking up. Well I finished and I am fairly happy with it.

I recognize some strengths and weaknesses and will try to adjust accordingly for my next still life.
