I started the day by working on this painting. I am working from a photo that I took at Long Hill Gardens in Beverly, MA. If you want to see my reference photo, it is posted here on Mar. 20. I began working with the idea of adding some variation to the colors of the grape leaves, working from my reference photo. As I worked, I made corrections. When I had finished, I took a photograph. However, when I saw the photo, I decided that the color variations were too much, and were making it harder to see the composition. So I went back to work and repainted the greens, toning the variation done just a bit.
