Mad River Vineyard

8 x 21 inches Oil on birch SOLD

This week's Art in the Garden Tour,
I had the opportunity to paint the glorious
3 year old vineyard of the Mad River Vineyard
with Joseph & Carol Klimek, the lovely hosts.
The winery will not produce until 2010.
They are Marquette and Frontignan grapes,



It's really enchanting
to be sitting between the rows and watch
the light and shadows change from one side
to the other since I arrived around 11:00am.
