The End Is Near

Well, that's how it feels. I worked up all the apples, re-worked the compote a tad and "finished" the candy wrapper. I can't decide if I love or hate the wavy edge of the compote. Almost liked the previous version better. Will look at it again today. The orchids are calling me.

Why do I feel crappy about it though? All of the sudden, I'm in a panic about the overall quality. Is it overworked? Have I gotten too detailed? Is it just like all the other paintings I've ever done? Is there a way to think about painting the orchids differently than I am thinking now? I'm very worried that OCD Girl is at work here. Should I walk away and do a pastel before I tackle them? Is my reaction here because I received my 5th straight rejection in a row for a juried show?

Gardening on such a lovely day may be the solution.

At any rate, here it is...
