In Living Color

5"x7" Oil on Gallery-wrapped Canvas
Palette Knife Painting

Banfi winery is in the heart of Tuscany.  It is the largest winery in Europe.  The Chianti label is beautiful and quite interesting.  I drew a wonderful detailed sketch before beginning the painting.  As I started to paint, color just took over.  All the beautiful detail was lost.  Perhaps my mind went back to that happy, colorful fall day & that long winding scenic drive through the vineyards on the way to the winery.  You could say it was one of those days like truly "living life in color."  Any by the way, if you're an artist, time spent sketching or drawing is never wasted.
Thank you for taking to view my palette knife paintings.
