I hope this isn't heresy. To me, it's the three photos that throw everything off - in each of the shown arrangements. I'm a little torn on using two rounds, although staggered at different heights offset by the taller candles seems to mitigate that somewhat. I'd keep the clock in the middle and find something with bulk - a piece of crockery or a preserving jar or pottery piece to companion with the metal can. To my eye, you don't need much else. I think I'm looking for something bright too - like branches with orange or red berries (bittersweet or pyracantha or...) rather than the grass plumes.

I like the painting. I think you need to make a decision: is the painting "art" or is it "decor"? If it is "art", that means you love it and want it displayed where you can enjoy it "Art" does not have to "go" (aka blend in) with the rest of the room. It stands on its own. If you want to tie it in with something else in the room (a vase, a pillow or a table runner), that is fine. If the painting is "decor", that means it was selected to blend in with the rest of the room. You may like it enough to re-decorate the room around it (people have redecorated around a pillow, so it's not crazy to re-decorate around a painting). That would probably have you re-doing the whole room. The selection of a round or rectangular table should be based on what functions best for the way you use the table.
