Venetian Vase and Grapes, still life 8x10 Acrylic on canvas

Unknown Wednesday, February 29, 2012


I love this small Still life painting, it reminds me of the Still life paintings that were done by the Old  Masters during the Renaissance period. I found and bought this Venetian style vase at an antique store and immediately fell in love with it. It's only 8 inches tall, very delicate and  has a beautiful color of a soft yellow with some orange highlights and the arms are a clear glass. Because I felt it had a roman look about it, I thought it might be fitting to paint it with the grapes which compliments it. The hardest part for me was the draping of the table cloth. I had to paint it several times before I was satisfied with the look. Now that it's done, and as time goes on into my painting endeavors, I am beginning to see real progression towards my painting style and the subjects that mean the most to me. Hope you like this one.
