Niece Jenny, Me and Overworking the Work

So been working on my grape painting.  I came to this and have signed it.  Something Niece Jenny said has been nagging at me though.  She liked this painting a couple days ago before additional paint and color was added.  And truthfully, maybe I have gotten to a more realistic place which is where I did not want to go, I was thinking I was abstracting and fracturing more.

 So let's compare side by side.  Do we like the first interpretation before all the work I did?  It's okay if you do, I just want some opinions for my future paintings.  Maybe I'm overworking the work if you know what I mean.  I kinda like them both, colors changed which was not a conscious intention either.

Please comment on FB or on my blog.  I appreciate the help, really I do.  I'll be breathing easier after I see some comments, lol.
