Progress on painting

This past week i have been i have been continuing to build up the painting. I have realized that this painting is going to improve with the more details that I add. When I added the yellow bow on the box the painting started to look more finished and polished. I have also started to add flowers in to my fabric. I have also learned by experimenting that I will have to make the flowers individually to make it look like it is on fabric. Hopefully I will finish this piece this week !
