11 by 14  grapes, not exactly DMP material - a lot of glazing and blending, but would appreciate

thanks!

Amazing! Super realism. I love the way the light passes through the grapes and makes them glow.

This is very nice. I wish I could zoom in and see the brush strokes. You really know how to paint grapes. 

ArtGal

I'm always amazed when I see this level of realism.  Beautiful. 

Will you have any trouble varnishing this painting given the amount of glazing you have done?  Or, is that the next challenge for you.  I have read that highly glazed paintings that are varnished are more difficult to restore.

Hi @Summer,  thank you!
it's still drying and  has to be varnished yet and I'm a bit worried about it too! will see how it goes.
