4"x6" oil on raymar panel. Thank you for putting up with the Buddhist monk rant yesterday and thank you to all who welcomed me back. And now for something completely different... A huge grape. Unlike most of the subject matter in my dailies, this is an enlargement. The little grape was approximately 1/2" long and according to my calculations, the painting above is roughly 650% scale. Don't know why I chose a straight on pose, but a contributing factor was that it had to be close to my easel so that I could get a good look at the little guy. I had to eat a few thousand grapes to finally find this one – a sacrifice I was willing to make for my art (Yeah, right. I just like grapes).
