Oil paint still life featuring grapes. Bunches of red, white, and purple wine grapes draped over a very old wooden wine keg. Soft spot lighting. Shot with a Canon 50D.
A study in red. The wine is gone and the music has stopped. A spot light shines on a red barstool holding the remains of the evening’s illusion. Invisible now, without the garb of the masquerade, the lady has vanished.
