Another entertaining video on “how I do it” or the process of creating the painting “Grapes after the rain and a butterfly”.
The 5-minute video contained more than 80 hours of work over three months (with breaks for drying the layers).

 

A ripe, juicy bunch of grapes are all drippy after a short, warm summer rain.  These berries still smell of sunshine and sparkle with water droplets like the greatest jewel of all. What could be better than a sun-drenched glass of freshly squeezed grape juice or young wine, with a slice of cheese or walnuts?
