"Withered Grapes"
Acrylic on gallery wrapped canvas, 20" x 20"
This bunch of grapes on my counter were past their prime, and yet, they were still catching the light in such a beautiful way that one can begin to see that perfection is not always the necessary thing, not always the best thing. Often perfection can be the way that leads us astray, leads us to folly. Imperfection seems to me to be more the way of God.
Price: $400.00
Won an Award of Excellence from Art St. Louis
