So SLOW!!!!!!!!

I worked on the apples again today and was struggling.

I am second guessing myself about the tablecloth.

Here is my progress:





What I like:

I love it that I looked at all of the reflections carefully on the apple - the tablecloth is IN the apple.

I like the feeling of the cut bit of apple

What I need to work on:

White bits in background
Far apple
I wish seeds in front cut apple were more perfect
I am wondering if I should just change the table to a solid color
