Grape Arbor (Oil Bar Painting as of Apr. 8, 2014)


This morning I continued working on this oil bar painting, based on a photo that I took at Long Hill Gardens, here in Beverly, MA. (The reference photo is posted here on Mar. 20.)  I am trying to move this painting towards the finish line.  I still want to add some variation to the colors of the leaves, but I decided to do some general cleanup first.  Today I concentrated on the light blue areas (sky), sharpening the lines and fixing mistakes along the way.  Then I went back and did a bit of work with dark blue, fixing the shapes of some of the grapes.  To be continued.
