Grape Arbor (Oil Bar Painting as of Apr. 10, 2014)



This morning, I worked for a while on my grape arbor painting.  I am using one of my photos as a reference, a picture of the grape arbor at Long Hill Gardens, here in Beverly, MA.  (The reference photo is posted here Mar. 20.)  Today I began by repainting the pale blue sky, shoot for clear and uniform color.  I think that brightened up the canvas and also made the composition easier to read.  While I was at it, I made corrections in the leaves.  I also worked on the grape arbor structure.  There are a few details left to go, but this painting is almost finished.
