Grapes in Reflection
Artist
Maria Hunt
Medium
Painting - Oil On Linen
Description
Preparing for a solo exhibit, I created 50 paintings, choosing from the 300 row crops grown in the Coachella Valley. I set up a Still life of the Flame table grapes on the granite-topped island, with a beautiful reflection in the granite, As I painted the grapes on the counter, the still life didn't "match" the image on my canvas .... then my wonderful husband passed by, picking a few more grapes off the top of the bunch as he rounded the island. ... "Darling, can you pick from the back toward the bottom? I'm painting the front, only" So well a few gaps here and there, but you'll know why and smile. ..
There was a tiny cluster of "would be" grapes, snuggled inside the bunch.. it was perfectly formed. I placed the dried remnants in the right corner of the painting (remembering those who don't make it to the "Finish line") The grapes are on a 10x10x1.5" Linen Gallery Wrap.

There are a handful of Artists on FAA that touch my heart and soul with their paintings. You are one of those artists, Lauren, and am honored by your comment ... and, to have my grapes hang virtually with yours. If I were younger, I might gain enough skill to match yours. Alas, I won't live to be a hundred.

Maria, no wonder your grapes are LEGENDARY!!...having prepared a grouping of 50 paintings for a show...you FEEL GRAPES and KNOW their SOUL!! I saw these Beauties while uploading to new catalogues in the Impressionist Group...I smiled because I, too, posted from a recent colour pencil study series and thought...”I am the luckiest person ever to virtually hang on a Feature post with Maria...and we both have grapes!” L/F
