Red Grapes Go Green SOLD- Old Town Tustin Art Walk




















oil on canvas panel 6x6 inches

Today my Aunt and Uncle from Fayetteville, Ark. are coming to visit for the weekend. Yay! We have lots of family fun planned, but alas, no time to paint or post until maybe next Tuesday. Today I offer this grape painting from...wow...I guess it was August. What happened to September? Grapes are among my favorite subject for their subtle color shifts and translucency.

A heads up for those of you in Southern California: Next week I'll participate in the Tustin Plein Air Contest. I'll paint in Old Town Tustin Thurs. and Fri. and then be at the Art Walk on Sat. the 22nd with all my daily paintings. Hope you can come out and say hi! More information here.

  3. Lovely, Karen. I like the composition, with the plate cropped and the grapes spilling out and down. Great color in the grapes. Very translucent. And I like the underpainting peeking through in places. Really nice!

    P.S. And have fun with your family!
