I wined on Friday instead of Saturday, and went back to Piedmont winery and vineyards, hidden away in the fancy hunt country of Northern Virginia. Their standout wines are a trio of Chardonnays, one without oak, one with "native yeast" which is the stuff that naturally occurs in their vines and makes fermentation happen. The third is a "Reserve" that is delicate, aged in oak for a longer time than the others. I sat inside the tasting room and sipped Reserve and drew this scene on my iPad. The pyramidal building is a corn crib (storage bin) which is on the property but currently unused.
Drawn on the iPad, "Autodesk Sketchbook Pro," October 14, 2011. Some touchups were done in Photoshop.

Nice! I love the tree on the left without leaves in particular.
shall we all throw our sketchbooks away and use only i-pads? You are making it happen with yours, Pyracanthe.

Serious answer: Don't throw your sketchbook and pencils away. The iPad is still in a developing stage and is by no means a reliable art tool. It does not have the computing power to deliver Photoshop-style artwork so basically it's an electronic sketchbook, not ready for final work. Also the interface with the main computer is quite confusing, when you try to download your iPad work to the main system. It's still a lot of fun to use though.
