red grapes green pear reworked

I spent a couple of hours again last evening trying to get the ellipses corrected on this piece. I think this works better but it's still troubles me. So even though I may muck around further I probably won't post my next changes.
I've just finished building my shadowbox and am setting another setup into it today. Its taken about a month to get this worked out as I was unable to get some of the hardware and had to make some adjustments to the design. I'm very happy with it!

Never stop to try the new way. I like your grapes especially. I have problems with my grapes. Would you please kindly let me know the procedure how to paint grapes and what colours I should use?

Comment by Patricia Patterson on February 19, 2012 at 20:22: A very nice painting, that you want to look at again and again. Like the lights.

Comment by Kari Hogden on February 16, 2012 at 8:24: You did a great job connecting the lights to the lights and the darks to the darks.

Comment by Denise Maxwell on February 15, 2012 at 17:49: Thanks everyone for all your positive comments! I love having gotten a critique on this from Richard and it's really helped me see where I can tweak but I may have to start again on a new panel. I'm still struggling with the whites of the jug and the transition from light side to shadow side. Again, I really appreciate the support!
