There needs to be a tonal value difference between the background and foreground. If you turn the painting black & white in a photo app you will see how similar the values are. When I do a still life I have a cardboard box painted inside with black gesso and a daylight lamp with a bendy head on the left. It gives me a good contrast.Very good idea about the carboard box and lamp. Yes i totally agree i could've chose better matching colours. Thanks again
