Sbargia Winery
This is a great place to paint with vast views looking south. It's near Lake Sonoma in Healdsburg, CA, and the people are very friendly and inviting. They even brought us bottled water, so we wouldn't pass out in the heat.
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.
What a beautiful painting.
