Painting is not only a passion for me - it's a major diversion. I can sit at the easel for hours on end and completely loose track of time. This used to scare me - but now, I treasure the gift and embrase it.
I painted a carafe with grapes a few weeks ago as a study and feel the grapes lacked depth. I may rework them and post it later.
Here is my latest - A Fall Pear and Grapes. I really liked the fact that this painting has all three types (and colors) of grapes... I also love the new color I've added to my palette - Olive Green... The pear and grapes are painted life size - canvas size is 8x10.
This is a stunning piece, Shirley! I especially like the branch creating that diagonal. It adds so much drama. And don't forget that art has the power to heal those wounded places caused by the loss of a loved one. You are in my prayers.
