Eubie, I like the changes, but still agree with Ron that the "star" of your painting should be your flower arrangement and the painting in the background seems to compete with it.
I wonder if I dulled the painting out more if that would help,, I get carried away with stuff!!
Either that, or put something a little bit taller into your vase (if you choose to paint out the background painting). Just a thought. And you still might want to do something about the horizon line on the background painting.
Might I suggest that you soften the background so the vase & flowers stand out.
That way the main object is in focus and the lesser objects are not...
