These luscious grapes are my second Still Life and I love it because of the dark colors and its very small size.
Sweet, juicy and luscious grapes,
picked at the peak of ripeness, are one
of nature's best-tasting treats.
California's red Flame seedless grape
is America's favorite.
(Americans just don't like spitting seeds.)

It's a beautiful duo, the AUBERGINES and the GRAPES together, at the moment decorating my black granite kitchen counter!

my beautiful oldest daughter.
(In the collection of the van Dijk Family)

Dimensions:
8'x10' (20.3x25.4cm)
Acrylic on a stretched
canvas
with gallery wrapped edges over wooden
frame.
Painted staple free sides.
Doesn't need framing.

I really enjoy the way You have made them look. All Your paintings are so very creative and of great artistic value and quality.Don Struke 05 Apr 2011
Olga, you have caught forever the essence of "grape". The water (I know it's cold water) drips slowly, not wanting to leave its new friends, these beautiful grapes. You are a brilliant artist. "Art for the sake of art", indeed!Debbie Shirley 07 Sep 2010
