"Seedless Greens" (sold)

I find green grapes very difficult to paint because of the close value relationships which is why I chose them for today. Painted with a palette knife.

I went to the market looking for those large, round, midnight blue grapes. Unfortunately they were not available. So I focused my energy on this fat clump of red grapes using a palette knife once again.

I was about to throw these grapes out as they're past their prime but their color had become more beautiful than a few days ago. So here's another palette knife painting which I painted vertically as well as horizontally.

We spent the past few days renewing friendships in beautiful Minnesota. My friends homes inspired many new painting ideas. This oil painting was created with a pallete knife and larger than I normally would do for the "daily" piece series, 20"x16" Oil Sketch
