Michele-Schlumberger Vineyards
This is a fantastic place with delicious wines and very nice and friendly staff. The light is extraordinary and the vineyards amazingly colorful. 16"x20" oil on canvas, framed, $650. Copyright 2009
LOVE this dynamic composition....AND successful handling of vine iron supports, (which I have struggled with). Birds eye view, textures, changing directions, foreground shadow, great color harmony all add up to rock n' roll.
I'm an oil painter living in beautiful Sonoma County, specifically Santa Rosa, California. I paint almost daily, and can't imagine not painting. I've had many professions, but I was always longing to do art while trying to focus on a job to make a living. I finally gave in to my urge. I LOVE to paint and draw.
I grew up in Los Angeles and started doing artwork when I was very young.
I do not have a formal art education, but have taken many, many art classes and workshops by well known artists . I guess that's called self-taught, although I didn't teach myself.In L.A. I was a member of the Valley Watercolor Society for many years, and when I moved to Northern California initiated WASCO, a watercolor club. Recently I started a group of eight artists called Sonoma 8.
