About a month ago, I was in Wimberley, Texas attending a plein air oil painting workshop by Jill Carver. On the 3rd and final day, we set up on a hilltop overlooking a farm and the vineyards of a local winery. It was a gorgeous view…it seemed we could see forever. Jill gave us all inspiration with her morning demonstration painting – it was beautiful! Afterward, it was time for us to paint…. I took a little too much time making a sketch on my canvas and brushing in the basic under-painting. Alas! the time got away from me and it was time to pack up the gear and head for home. I made value & color notes in my sketchbook and took several photographs, so I could finish it after I got home. So, this weekend, with the aid of my sketchbook notes, photographs and memory I completed the painting. Enjoy!
