Summer of Colour, Week 5 - Succulent grapes

We're back from our little trip to the Palatinate region in Southwestern Germany, and the subject I chose for this week's colours for Summer of Colour - two greens and one pink - is really suitable. A big part of the Palatinate is wine-growing region, the second largest in the country, and we were driving along parts of the German Wine Route, through vineyards and small picturesque villages, where almost every house is a winery. It was a lovely four days, and even though we picked the hottest days for our trip, and the heat really felt almost unbearable at times, we all enjoyed it immensely. I will try and post some pictures later this week, although I didn't take quite as much as I usually would have done. It was just too hot.

    What medium did you use for your grapes? They are great. It looks like pencil, but I am not sure. Either way, very nice!

    What a magical entry. It was so realistic and I was really impressed with the shading. It's too bad it was so hot while you toured wine country in Germany. I was surprised also that nearly each house had a winery. How awesome that would have been. When I think of Germany, I think beer. Nice to know another region exists and my limited knowledge of Europe has once again been changed.
