Near our favorite winery in the Napa Valley, there are some beautiful fields hidden on lonely gravel roads. The Artessa Winery is a unique winery with beautiful views, and the wine is good, too! This scene is one of many like it that you can find if you wander past the winery a short distance. I don't think many people leave the main loop in the valley unless they have a strong curiosity and appreciation of the landscape. The wine is the main attraction for most, but for me it is the land from which the wine comes. I can't help but leave the busy valley highways and wander into the quiet hills to see what I might find.

To Fly, 2018, Digital Painting In my previous posting , I mentioned the many sketches I've created over the past several years that I've intended to develop into large paintings and sculpture. As I continue to experiment with ArtStudio and iPad as a digital painting tool, I'm finding that I'm able to quickly work out many possible variations on composition and explore color combinations. This is one of 16 versions of this theme. There are several I'd like to execute on canvas including monochromatic versions that I've not developed as digital paintings, but live in my head. I admire Frank Stella's work in the 80's where he was working out interpreting Moby Dick. His use of line and application of color was on my mind as I developed this version of the theme.
