"Dead life." What is the Dutch phrase? I have seen a lot of edgier stuff that transcends the merely decorative and speaks directly about the fleeting and ephemeral nature of life. There will always be collectors who understand this and will gladly pay <i>extra</i> for a more transcendent piece. Carry on Hanneke. Carry on. Your work becomes more valuable still, for now you talk about life itself.

I didn,t understand the meaning of the rotten grapes yet The painting gives a vey wise lesson to the painter and I shoul not sell the painting just to remind me of that. Thanks a lot Wolfbaby,

Is there never room for growth and learning in a direction that is possibly not marketable - or are such efforts just a waste of time if you need cash?

I have learned more from seeing you guys then I ever realized I would. For someone who has never had the opportunity to study with a proffesional this is a wonderful opportunity to see how some things are done!!! As for the grapes.. I like what it adds to the painting it makes it unique and it reminds us that not everything in life is perfect. It comes with good and bad. If I could afford it, it is something I would buy just because it does remind one of that. I love the glass and how you painted the colors. It is a beatiful piece.

I agree with you, of course. That's why I was interested in Hanneke's interpretation. Birgit, sorry about misinterpreting your comment! Leslie, good point about the rotting grapes.
