Soldiers of Napa


The vineyards of the Napa valley in California are exceedingly scenic. The air is fragrant with lavendar and there is a purple haze on the mountains. Combine this with the leafy green vines and you wind up with a combination that has great appeal to the senses. Capturing the whole essence of wine country in a painting was my goal. I feel that the vines, producing a bounty of grapes, year after year, are like soldiers in the line of duty, hence the name.
