This lovely vista through the trees is on the west side of Montelle Winery. Arriving late after a morning broadcast on Great Day St Louis, I was quickly drawn to this place. I love this side of the winery, more secluded than the sweeping back side. The babbling of the koi pond was my companion as I painted these trees, background first. Working around all masses negatively gives a very organic feel to all. I met some of those edges while leaving others hard. I was so honored to have been awarded an Honorable Mention for this piece at the Montelle Winery Paint Out. Painting number 1571 in 1571 days.
