New start: Pitcher with Fruit

Started this still life today.  My concept is color: the vase is white with blue flowers printed on it, and the background is a silk throw, quilted squares.  I am hoping that the fruit will be the only items of saturated color, red, yellow and green.  I started with a block in with three values. I can tell that the upper right quadrant is going to be a little bit difficult.... 




I went on to put in the three fruit shapes... (pardon the hairclip at the top.  I'm looking for a used studio easel, but until then...)
Then the jug...
Lastly, the background, base and leaves in the pitcher.  I know they don't look like leaves...I'm a long way from being finished.  Just out of time for today, and won't paint again until next Tuesday at the earliest.  I need to remember it's only a start.
