The background is a little too dark for me. Are you building up the darks using transparent glazes like the old masters, like that the darks are less solid?
Like the pears I wasn't happy with the photos of the plums. Also the roll has more colours than you see. Cameras are never good enough. I think I'll take a bigger painting for building up colours with glazes. I think it's more worth it in big O;-)
Love your paintings, the simplicity of the subject matter and the way you bring the painting to life. Love the style and technique. I love visiting this page. @hansonhelen

You could also do a sample on perhaps a tiny canvas just to see how many layers of glaze you may need to do to create really dark luminous areas.
