St. Helena Hwy, Napa

'St. Helena Highway, Napa, California, US"
8.5" x  3.75"  pastel painting

 I found these vineyards while "driving" on the highway in Napa, California. I took a few liberties in the painting by omitting a building in the background and also the support stakes for the plants. I didn't want to crowd the small painting surface with sticks so I decided to only place stakes in the front for suggestion. It seems to work.

I believe these vineyards are part of Silver Oak Cellars. One wine which I haven't tried yet, but I will.
All this virtual travel is giving me a thirst for touring all these beautiful spots. I can only get as close to the wineries and vineyards as Google lets me. I'm open to receiving up-close photos if you want to share them!

You can see the Google street view and explore the area at my new blog.
