vineyard by the sea

'La Mare Wine Estate' Saint Mary, United Kingdom
10.25" x 2.75" daily pastel painting
unframed

Vineyards are my favorite landscape scenes. I suppose farms would come next. It's the rows of the plants that captures me. And this one is by the sea, another favorite place although I haven't been to the ocean in quite some time. It's only a little over 1/2 an hours drive but I'm lazy.
This piece was painted in response to the Virtual Paintout challenge. The reference image was found on Google maps on the island of Jersey which sits off the coast of Normandy, France and southern Great Britain. If you want to see a beautifully landscaped island with some amazing architecture, this is one to check out!

  1. Love it Ria! The long horizontal format really lends itself to vineyards doens't it? The sense of distant space you created it wonderful.

  2. I really like the format as well - and from what I can see in looking at the Google maps myself, the painting really captures the light and the feel of the island. Lovely.
