Willamette Valley Vineyard sunset The summer cutting of rye

The summer cutting of rye grass lays in purple and gold rows

5 inch deep gallery wrapped canvas with painted sides

We only had one day in Montenegro but I guess you can fall in love in a day

I leave the edges with a coating of jewel tones

The sky puts on the performance and invited me to paint one evening when we went to visit family

Willamette Valley Vineyard sunset The summer cutting of ryeOregon boasts some wonderful vineyards across the western valleys. This one, in the mid Willamette Valley, attracted my eye and inspired me with the thick swaths of color. The textured paint, impressionistic styling and colorful original 12" X 12" oil on canvas painting encourages you to stop and stare for a while. Even the cloud line up against the Cascade Range makes one wonder if they are actual mountains or just the clouds stirring.
