Grape Arbor (Oil Bar Painting as of Mar. 28, 2014)



This is an oil bar painting that I have been working on, based on a photo of a grape arbor, taken at Long Hill Gardens in Beverly, MA.  (The reference photo is posted here on Mar. 20, 2014.) Over the past few days, I have revised the composition by changing the placement of the grapes.  I like the result, but I needed to clean up the color.  I didn't have much time to work on this today, so I just concentrated on cleaning up the pale blue color of the sky, peeking through the leaves.  This was a modest goal for the day, but I think it made a difference.
