Red Wine and Cherries

Things are getting pretty much wound up on this painting of crystal.  I have some value corrections and edges to clean up, but I'll live with the burgundy area of the decantur for a few days and decide just how much to darken the colors.  I'm thinking two or three values deeper in the burgundy.  It's amazing what we can see once the piece is condensed in the posting process...and it's right in front of me all along.  It's been a bit of a challenge with all the angles and facets, but I always love painting crystal and anything reds...with cherries and strawberries being my favorites.
