"Above Sonoma Valley" 11x14 Pastel


Last September I had the fortunate opportunity to attend a wedding reception in the Sonoma Valley. It was located at Kunde Winery on top of a hill. I brought my camera just in case. Although I missed out on half of the dinner,  I was treated to some incredible scenes and this was one of many that I plan to paint.
