I've come up with a strategy for painting grapes and flowers that ... well sometimes it works. There are usually some parts of grapes and flowers where the light is shining through the fruit or petals and making it glow just a bit. If I start with that color - that glow color - and paint the whole thing with a thin layer of it, then paint the lights and darks and other variations on top of that, it tends to work. Sometimes anyway. It worked here.

And it's a wonderful tidbit artist's tip. Thank you!
It sure did work here - you can really see the glow. And I also like the dark vase, and the colors inside it.
Very nice "closeup", this flower just wants to pop right out at you!
I left you an award on my blog yesterday. I am sure you get hundreds of these but if you want it, come and get it!
Carol, wow! This flower jumps right off the page, or screen, I should say! Your technique really must work. Thank you , always, for sharing your great ideas!
These flowers are great! 'am attending your Sedona workshop - hope to do a flower or two!!
Amazing look, the Backlit below is super as well. Thanks for the tip.
You are exactly right, Carol. I use the same technique when painting figures - it really makes the skin glow! Mary
