Vine and Roses, 21 5/8" x 14 1/4"
I spent a couple of years studying architecture and my wife and I also designed our home and several remodeling projects. We both have an attraction to architectural design and beautiful spaces which shows up in many of our travel photos as well as in my artwork.
The tasting room at Amador Cellars vineyard (also near Plymouth, CA), with it's concrete and timber construction, and tall wainscot and clerestory windows had a bit of a European flavor to it, and it inspired me to do a painting of it - so here it is! I thought the perspective of the view emphasized the building and made for a nice composition, along with the roses creating a rhythm and drawing your eye into the scene. The shadows cast by the deep eaves were really fun to paint in at the end!
