EARLY MORNING CHARDONNAY

'EARLY MORNING CHARDONNAY,’ oil on canvas, 11X14 inches - This was a experiment in darks and lights. How dark should I make my darkest areas? My visual image was very dark in the early morning light but how would it appear in oil. I decided to paint the beauty that I saw. Against the ebony greens, the almost transparent chardonnay grapes popped out at me. I loved the effect. The original looks so good. Completed just days ago.
