    Part 3 -Painting the Land of Pinot Noir and so much Moir


    This is part three 
    Hopefully, you’ve jumped into my two previous blogs. Part 1  part 2


    By now, a new paradigm, thank you Charlie, was transfixing me.  We had ordered a second glass by then; I think it was probably Oregon wine.
    All our ideas, scribbled onto napkins, and tossed back and forth across the table, evolved into plans for one big Oregon vineyard show.   

    Help your Bro, Name this Show…
    I’ve been busy preparing for the Oregon vineyards art show.  As you recall, my talk with Charlie at the Oil Painters of America Show in Tucson catapulted me into this project.  I’ve lined up the three vineyards and one gallery for the show, which is scheduled for the last two weekends of May. 
     Now, how does a solitary artist go about organizing something that has become so big and feels so fabulous?  With help and hard work, I imagine.  So, here I sit today, looking for your help.

    I’m playing with possible titles for the show.  Jump right in:  Should it be cute, classy, fruity-yet-earthy, straightforward …?  What do you think?  

    Here, I’ll throw a couple quick ones at you.  These are my sleep-deprived working titles; I can’t tell if they are clever or stupidly cute...or just stupid.  It’s OK.  We’re friends; you can be honest.

    the beginning of the Oregon Vineyards series

    I'm so excited to be starting a great big project that I promise to tell you all about, but for now just know that it revolves around the amazing vineyards that grow near my home in Oregon. More information to come soon.
    This is one of the first paintings, it is called "Post Harvest Glow".
    It is a scene from Sokol Blosser Vineyard, one of my favorites. They are always so friendly to me, they love having artists out there to paint and their wine is fantastic.

    This painting can be found at my newest gallery which just so happens to be in the very area I'm painting.
