"Washing Grapes" watercolor selected for publication in Splash 20

Whiles washing some grapes I loved all the splashes and bubbles that were created. I quickly grabbed my camera to take many shots.  To get the exact composition and coloring I wanted for the painting I combined several photos.  This was a labor-intensive work of love.  Took over 60 hours to complete.

"Lemon Glow" watercolor by Diane Morgan

"Lemon Glow"  9" x 10" watercolor on paper.  I love painting deep, dark still lifes with strong, warm lighting.  Pushes watercolor to a more old-world look than normally seen.
Demo from watercolor class at Venus Studios Art Supply. Started this one last winter.  Sometimes it takes awhile to finish a piece.
