No need for the Blues, Eat a Grape.

Comments

A beautiful painting Denise, love the blue bottles and glass , the pears are excellent and the glaze is beautifully done. Your grapes do look like grapes and ready to eat.

Absolutely exquisite, Denise. Love the blue colour of the glass.

I know that feeling Denise. You certainly set yourself a challenge, well done for the result.

I do like your ‘I’m in charge of my art’ attitude Denise, made me smile. You’ve ended up with a painting to be proud of.

You should be very pleased with yourself - all that hard work has paid off (I'm with you on re-painting, have done it many times myself). Anyway, there's so much to like and admire here and I think the background works a treat. Fabulous glazes on those pears and grapes

Absolutely stunning Denise.

Interesting reading your description, feelings most of us have most of the time. A good result here, Denise.

Fabulous painting Denise. Really like the blue bottle and the glaze on the pears and grapes is wonderful!

Your comments are lovely, thanks Paul, David, Marjorie, Fiona, Heather, Chris, Lewis and Diane.

This is beautiful, I love the blues against the reds and greens such a well thought out and effective colour palette.

A super still life Denise.

Your hard work paid of brilliantly Denise. A lovely result.

This is very eye catching, love the dark background shows up the rich colours Denise.

This is great Denise, the blues are beautiful.

Clever person…

The blue glass is wonderful, love the reflections,and you ended up with a perfect background colour.

Really beautiful!

Lovely painting, Denise, and I really like your title.

Great job, the glass is well done but I really like the fruit - definitely good enough to eat!!

Impressive painting Denise, and interesting what you say about the changes you made along the way. I think that shows maturity in your work.

Very much appreciated Carrie, David, Carole, Carole, Russell, Sylvia, Anne, Lesley, Sarah and Tessa.

A very well thought out and constructed painting Denise, I like it!

Super painting, Denise, love the dark background and the beautiful blue of the bottles.

Thanks very much Alan and Jenny. I'm glad you like it Alan because I have learnt a huge amount about oils from you and also Robert. So I would feel very bad if I wasn't trying.

Wow lovely Denise. Love the way you have painted the bottles. Grapes and pears look yummy 😋

Beautifully done, Denise 0 very nicely composed, with a lovely palette.

This is just beautiful, Denise.

Great still life Denise.

Kind words, thanks very much Faye, Seok, Ellen and Shaun.

Fabulous, Denise, great composition, very well painted! Love everything about it!

The reflections and light are exquisite

You have mastered it, Denise! Such a great, lovely painting. A week of investment in this got you a great reward!!

Good work, glass is never easy to paint. Thanks for your comment on PLAYER, I'm just starting to paint action figures. As rugby is my sport (non playing) what better place to start! The figres should get better, with time.

Amazing to think you have never painted before Denise, it’s wonderful, the light on the glasses and fruit brings it to life.

I've been working on this for over a week. It's had a light blue background, an orange and burnt umber background and I finally settled on this background, well to be honest, I wasn't going over it again. The pears have changed in shape and colour numerous times and every day I must have added one more grape. Oh yes, I can't count how many times I've painted the shadows in and out again. I've settled on this so I can move on. I'm kind of ok with it.

My name is, Denise. I started painting at the end of April during the Covid lockdown 2020. I’ve never painted before or had any experience of doing any art. I walked into a shop, bought some watercolours and have been trying to teach myself. I have pain conditions and had to retire early last year…
