Grape Arbor (Oil Bar Painting as of Mar. 31, 2014)

This is the oil bar painting I have been working on. It is based on a photo that I took at Long Hill Gardens here in Beverly, MA.  (My reference photo is posted here on Mar. 20.)  I made an early start this morning, because the rest of the day was spoken for.  I concentrated on the perspective for the post and beam of the grape arbor itself.  I think it looks better.  As I worked, I tried to make subtle corrections in the position of those grapes because I would to be able to capture the beautiful way the grapes fall over the arbor.
