Since the first time I found this place, I make it a point to return here whenever I'm in town - and paint! I LOVE this place! A quick walk along the paths reveals painting after painting to me, and I can choose only one before heading up to the Wine Stroll. The light was so warm, and the wildflowers more beautiful than I've ever seen them, I could hardly wait to paint! Without time to even sketch this one, I jumped right into the paint, filling the masses with their local colors. Standing in the shade, it was a very comfortable paint with birdsong and rustling leaves to keep me company. Alas, I didn't want to leave! But duty called, and I pried myself away. Painting number 1694 in 1694 days.

Oh Yes! What atmosphere! The wildflowers are so inviting! I have a vase of them on my counter from a friend this morning waiting for a painting!
