Favorite Grapes

I've always found painting from life difficult.  So I never do it, but yesterday I put this bunch of grapes in front of me and painted away. 
Delicious, all gone !!

Still WIP

I've been working on this the last couple days... I should have stopped after 3 hours, called it 'finished', and posted, but oh noooo, not me.  It's a watercolor, about 16x20, and I stuck it behind this old white mat to see if I liked it any better.   I didn't.  But after all my years of painting I think I need to come to terms with the fact that I'm not stopping when I should.. This was a composition of 2 different paintings that I did in the past.   
Possibly softening edges?   When you've never had any professional help and have been painting w/c for 32 years it's very difficult to even know WHAT is wrong.. 
You Just Do !  Any HELP ?

Watercolor


Almost finished , just need a bit of color on that left side.
I've started watercolor painting again, not that I was ever far from it.  
But sometimes a break is good.
