Bowls & Grapes

My first attempt at a grunge image.
I'll bet I spent 10 hours on this with
countless layers.

Really nice, Vicki. Beautifully offset composition elements, mirroring round shapes of the plate, bowl, and grapes, and most pleasing textures and tones. #7167917Usman M. Bajwa February 15, 2009
