Vineyard Oak
Vineyard Oak - 9 x 12 original oil painting
SOLD
We are winding down at the gallery - only three days to go before we pack up and go home on Thursday night. It’s been a good run - an interesting and educational experience in many ways. This painting was started today at the Carriage House and finished at home. As much as I enjoy painting in public I still need some quiet time alone to bring a piece to completion. My guess is that this stately oak will remain growing for some time and will not end up as a barrel. In fact, I believe these evergreen live oaks are protected species.
The inspiration for this painting was a road leading out of Paso Robles, off the 101 freeway. This is central coast wine country where the climate is just right to produce a wide range of varietal wines.
Wow, really lovely. beautiful brushstrokes in this.
