The photo is less than sharp but the colours are close to the original oil on canvas, and the painting is new, perhaps my last Vineyard Collection piece for a while. I couldn’t get over the vivid colours and consequently the unwieldy title is, ‘ROSES ARE RED AND GRAPES ARE TOO.’ For the past couple of weeks I have worked on five paintings, each quite different from one another. That serves a purpose when using oil because it is wet for some days, and this exchange allows time for setting before application of something further. Completing a piece in a day, wet oil into wet oil is called Alle Prima and it is a fruitful exercise for accomplished painters who do it well.
