Medium
Painting - Acrylic On Gallery Wrap Canvas
Description
Once I sketched in the leaves and played with the structure of the cluster of grapes, then it was all about filling them in with sumptuous color. It was tricky to get them to read as one united cluster with all the different colors, but I managed to tie the composition together by keeping the warm colors near the top of the cluster and then gradually introducing cooler colors as I came down the cluster. The hints of the reds reflecting into the blues and greens is what held them together. I had no idea what to name the painting until it was completed. The gloriously colored grapes reminded me of jewel-like Christmas tree ornaments, but in keeping with the wine theme, I settled on Jewels of the Wine as the title. The painting got rave reviews at the local Wine Festival. The original was purchased by Seven Feathers Hotel and Casino Resort in Canyonville, OR.

I just ordered prints of some of my wine pieces here and just love the acrylic prints sandwiched in between the 1/4 inch clear acrylic and black backer board. You'd swear the prints were under glass. The clarity is unbelievable and the thickness of the glass-like acrylic gives the pieces a real substantial presence. The black backer board lends a fine black visual border. The acrylic print option is the way to go for a very sleek, contemporary look. If I order any prints to keep for myself or for gifts, I will choose the acrylic print option over any of the other options, including gallery wrapped canvas prints. I just love the novel, contemporary look it adds!

Well, Robert, I'd love to sell it to Margaret River Winemakers in WA, if they could see it. Thanks for the vote!

Thanks, Tonya and Jon. I enjoyed looking at both of your work. Love what you've been teaching yourself, Tonya and your beautiful photography, Jon.

Thanks very much, Putterhug Studio. This is my first sale of a reproduction here! (But last week I sold 3 originals from this site, so I am very encouraged.) You sure do have a variety of great work here, too.
