This is my contribution to this week's WDE  at Wet Canvas. Sharron was the hostess who supplied this great reference photo! Thanks, Sharron !

 I was in the mood for more painting knife this week, and the grapes seemed to be just what I needed. My goal was to keep this super loose and to leave a lot of room for interpretation for the viewer.
I'm fairly satisfied with the outcome...(at least for now).
I owe much of this approach to that fine artist, Julie Ford Oliver.

Vise grips getting a grip on vice.......
To me, a nice glass of Merlot is a great vice.
In order to prevent a drinking problem, i.e. dropping the drink, a pair of vise grips could be employed to get a secure grip on your vice. The danger is, this could crush the glass and cause a worse problem than ever.

John 2:9 the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside ¹⁰ and said, “Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now.”

My new toaster has a non reflective plastic coating, so it wouldn't do. I dug around and found my old one taking up residence in a corner of my basement. I gave one side a quick Windex shine and set a glass of French merlot wine in front of it.
So this is a French toast to all my art and blogging friends! Thanks for making my day every day.

The older the violin, the sweeter the music. The older the wine the better the taste. Thanks for another great year of sharing.
