Look Familiar??

Wait! 
Is this a rerun?
I think I've seen this one recently...
Yeah...
HERE it is... Click and remember that "finished" version was the second "finished" version.
I know, I know... they might barely look different at a glance, but I'm finally happy with it.  
After I "finished" it the second time, I never took it off the easel and put it on the wall.  I just could not make myself be satisfied with it. 
A good thing about oil paint is that it's never too late to go back and add to it.
So... I tweaked a few things:
I gave it a total palette knife update... brightened the chimes... gave some form to the leaves... added highlights to the leaves, flowers, chimes, table... deepened the shadows... lightened the sky..
I guess I didn't "tweak a few things."  I guess I tweaked the entire thing.

    1. I hope so. I was just unsatisfied leaving it the was it was.
