We were in Sonoma Valley not too long ago just to take in the countryside and sample a few of the wines from that region. The wines were amazing—the countryside was breathtaking!
This painting is sort of a composite of my impressions of the Sonoma Valley. I purposely didn’t spend too much time on it, which gives it a nice energetic quality.
I wouldn’t mind returning to to the valley to draw and paint more, but, for now, I’m happy to be back in my studio doing what I love to do. Not only was Sonoma the perfect venue to recharge the creative batteries, but, I also learned a little something about wine. Now, I read wine labels more carefully… a little knowledge goes a long way.
