I was wrong when I thought they were done. The image below is the 2nd try at done, I will leave it to you to see the differences. Small details that made it better for me. :)
This is the finished picture. Probably. I do need to leave it laying around for a while and keep glancing at it to be sure however. Sometimes it takes me getting away from my paintings to see the things I do not like about them so I will let it sit for a while.
When you compare it with the picture below, you see I've added some fine details to a few of the leaves around the bottle and grapes, darkened down some more values in the leaves in the back and added the haze to the grapes. The barrel is slightly darker to create more contrast with the banding and I have put in some shadows.
As I look at it now in the photo I see a couple of areas I may change.

From the last blog to this entry I added in color and veining to the leaves I felt needed it, and finished adding some more hue layers to the grapes to get the intensity I was looking for.
