Mr. Grape, 2010 – (14 x 11 painting by Denny)

Submitted by denny May 21st, 2011

This is Mr. Grape and he is seedless.

Really love this painting. He looks like a George Nelson marshmallow couch. And the perfect little man. And seedless to boot. (Way more sophisticated without seeds than with.)

How large is this?

He’s 14 x 11 and I sold him not too long ago at the little local show I took part in. I don’t sell nearly as much as I would like to but I NEVER get tired of painting, never….
