Lovely details of colour shades in these grapes and the stalk they are on and lovely background

Thanks for looking Ros, All the best, Steve.

How do you make a simple subject look so interesting, well obviously lots of practice and tons of talent! Excellent painting again, those grapes look good enough to eat, yum.

Cheers Hazel, I never met anyone who got worse with practice :-) All the best, Steve.

I did a similar study a few weeks ago when I dug out my oils again, only with green grapes. I won't post it though, it's not a patch on yours :) I like your little brown jug as well.

Thanks Val All the best, Steve

12 cm x 12 cm oil on canvasI was painting these grapes when I remembered a lovely quote of Jules Renard from his journal. ‘My father and I did not love each other outwardly. We did not hang together by our branches; we loved each other by our roots.’And that’s how I’ll always remember them.
