Hi, Antonia! Your profile is so rich in beautiful art and so diverse. It's hard to pick the favorite thing :-) I'm glad to see that you also like creative food images. Most people look at food only as food (or sun dried grape as sun dried grape as in this case) but only the eye of artist can see the beauty and create the artwork out of it. You did a great job! And thanks for taking time to see my photography collection and leave such a kind comment on Morning Creation.

Anne, a little secret. From the time I cut this branch in am to setting up in pm, the day being extremely warm, the wilt set in. It was late in season and some of the grapes already began to dry out. I have a bad habit of painting exactly what I see, instead of being imaginative and creating a more agreeable painting. As you can see I left it as I saw it. To receive any comments is greatly received, as I feel and know people want to view a more lively leaf or grape. I do appreciate your level of expertise, thank-you!!! Of course, I could always change the title to "Wilting Grapes." lol!!!!
