I Suppose You're Wondering Why I Called You Here

Okay. I've gotta admit...this is one of my favorites. Sometimes you get lucky...and it turns out just how you'd hoped. I wanted the green grapes to really shine, so I tried a little something different with the under painting. Most of it was Cad Red as usual, but I did a small section, approximately where the green grapes were to be painted, in Cad Yellow. I carefully wiped off both as usual...and proceeded with the painting. It seemed to do the trick.
