The Finished Piece... Grapes in the Dew

I found myself in the creative spirit and decided to finish the piece. I didn't stop to take pictures for fear that the moment would pass. Things have been so busy here and I have been working on this painting for quite a while that I thought it was time to bring this project to a close.

The final steps involved were:

1. adding the white highlighting circles to the top

2. adding the white circles to the bottom

3. adding a glossy varnish to the bottom only making the top a distinct matte up again the gloss of the bottom

4. painting the sides of the canvas

I hope you like the finished painting. Let me know what you guys think.
