Another attempt at the wine, but this time I think I was able to loosen up a bit. I am wondering if the composition is off balance at all with the wine glass too close to the center, and are the grapes to the right enough to balance the weight of that glass?? Also, in terms of color, I think honeydew melon would have been the better choice to enhance the color of the prosciutto. Buon appetito!

On another note, I would like to share the exciting news that my "Three's a Crowd" painting won first place in the Johnston County Arts and Food Festival.

    I love this compo! You have a great triangle going with the grapes, wine and plate edge, and enough negative space relief to balance everything. And I totally get the prosciutto against the orange cantaloupe - I love the warmth of it with the wine label. This one takes me back to Portofino - I love it!
