Winery door textures


The Wine Team visited "Lost Creek" winery, about an hour and a half's journey from Metro DC. The weather was perfect, with brilliant clear sunlight and warm breezes. The fountain in their courtyard, which I had depicted many years ago in spring and as yet waterless, was now full of water trickling and splashing. There was an arbor overhead with foliage to shade the sunlight. Entering this bright court from the darker tasting room was like entering the earthly paradise I dreamed of in my first wine picture book. This sketch depicts the door between the worlds and its many textures, as well as an ornamental lantern.
