Here it is at the end of the evening:
Specific changes:
- Darkened back left of tabletop to help emphasize the pool of light in the front.

- Adjusted the shapes of the wine glass shadows.
- Painted decanter shadow.
- Extended shadows from tabletop onto red cloth.
- Adjusted bowl shadow.
- Painted over some sanding marks.
