Objects on a striped table with lamplight

This painting was done with Sennelier watercolours paints. I quite like the result, the vibrancy of it all, but I had difficulty with the light shining on the other objects. It's still not right, I'm sure anyone would agree. I lit the lamp as an afterthought and created the light on surrounding objects by damping the paper and lifting paint off the painting with a brush. 

I created the stripes on the table by using masking tape and leaving the white of the paper untouched.

Every painting of mine has something about it that I would change if I started all over again but each mistake is a lesson learned — right? — and it's more important to have fun unless, of course, you are professional artist and your livelihood depends on the quality of your work.
