Vintage Fishing Lures in Wooden Box

Ok, so I painted this one again.  It seems I do that from time to time.  I find an image I like, and I paint it a few times until I paint it close to the way I want it.

My previous painting, I believe, had the floor of the box slightly lighter that the sides.  I thought that it would probably make the lures stand out a bit more if I did the floor a little darker, and the sides lighter.  I hope that it worked.

I was also trying to give the lures a yellow/brown aged look.  That much, I think I have gotten right.  Maybe a little too much.  I think that the lures definitely look like they have been around for a long long time.

There could be a bit more shadowing on the lures, and the box, and there probably should be some highlights in there somewhere.  If it was like half the times I went fishing growing up, it was a really overcast day, and there weren't any shadows or highlight.  lol.

I hope you all like this painting.
