(Private Collection)
Setting up to paint a still life can take some time. Adding what I felt were the right amount of grapes, for example, required a ridiculous number of variations on this arrangement. It's all part of the process of painting. This playing with objects can't be rushed. Questions arise: do these shapes lead the eye around the painting? Is there a balance? Is the negative space interesting? Are there distracting folds in the background fabric?
