Brie with Concord Grapes

5 x 7 in., oil on canvas panel
Not for Sale

These grapes jumped out to me at the produce stand.  We don't often see Concord grapes around here and they had a lovely bloom going on.  One grape out of the bunch was leaning toward the purple end of the spectrum, so I thought it should be showcased.  And what goes better with grapes than cheese?  I really liked the play between the coloring of the grapes and my favorite marble slab.  (Ok, it's my only marble slab, but it has a dear place in my heart.) The slight downward tilt noticed at the bottom of the photo is a product of my poor photography and photo editing skills.  The line is horizontal on the actual painting.
