Red Grapes - A Daily Painting

Grapes pose a challenge to paint even though they are quite small. Light hits them in an interesting way, making them appear translucent.

These red seedless grapes (delicious, by the way)were actually several different colors, including lavender and purple, as well as a deep red.

I decided to paint them in a "painterly" fashion, showing some brushstrokes, and taking an impressionistic approach.I have to say that they were actually more of a challenge than I expected.

I have some more grapes in the fridge...green ones, I think...so I may try to conquer those (with a paint brush) for a new grape challenge.

Thanks for looking in!
