72″ x 96″ oil on stretched canvas
Wine country, Paso Robles, is home to friends of ours that own a 10 acre lot that they planted with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes. My husband and I have had the privilege to see it during the different seasons and help during harvest. Harvesting in 100+ degree heat is hard work and although we are glad to help, we have decided that for us, the best property to own is the one next to the vineyard. Our motto….. “access is better then ownership”.
Our home is not next to a vineyard so I decided to paint my very own vineyard to look out to. 
I began by building this 6′ x 8′ canvas 
The painting was too large for my art room so I set it up on 2 easels in the dining room and my husband set up the lighting for me. Below is a smaller section of the painting and of me adding final touches.
I’ve included a few photos from harvest.
Wow! It’s beautiful …and the scale is also mind boggling!

Thank you! It was daunting at first but then I fractured my foot and was able to just paint all day every day for 8 weeks😉

Beautiful painting as usual. I really love it. Pammybake is visiting me next week and I think we will run down to a couple of the wineries as they have started harvesting. I don’t think I will help them, but I’ll take pics. 🙂
