Springtime at the Lake

My favorite place to paint and I have rendered several versions of this scene. It is Santa Margarita Lake, which has changed somewhat over time.  I love the foreground shadow on an unseen Blue Oak. For the last few years, the California drought reduced the lake to an ugly, muddy sludge, so coming upon this view once again, after the prodigious rains we've had, was a great delight.

Painting on Wine Glasses

Volunteering to paint 36 wine glasses seemed easy, at first It took some time to get used to the paint, but I finally came up with a technique that worked for me. These wine glasses are for a Russian River Wine Tour next February. My compensation is a case of wine with bottles from each of the participating wineries, as well as a featured artist show at Balletto Winery in 2020. I hope I'm still around to hang the show.
