Sonoma Plein Air

This week I spent two fabulous days painting in Sonoma County, California. This photo was taken at the B.R. Cohn Vineyards. The fall colors were still very vibrant and it was a glorious day. If I wasn't already addicted to plein air, I am now. I'll post a few paintings when I can over on the daily painting blog.

First Snow, Mt Washington

Acrylic on gallery wrap canvas, 6x12

I finally had time to finish this painting I started the day after our trip to Mt Washington in October. The mountain had been snowcapped for about 2 weeks but the snow cover was light enough that the mountain's character was very prominent. You can see more about this painting in the acrylics portfolio.

I have several images that are suitable for Holiday Cards. You can order the 5x7 cards with envelopes from Fine Art America or Greeting Card Universe. Price depends on quantity.
