There are only a few days in my climate area where the weather and light actually look like this. This piece, not yet finished, is the page background for Honah Lee winery and vineyard, and it is also the cover for "Virginia Under Vine." The title logo will be placed where you see pink sky. If this composition looks familiar, it should as I imitated the style of the notorious Thomas Kinkade when creating it. This is that day in late April after a rain shower at sunset, an ideal created by Kinkade complete with gazebo. The gazebo and flowery pathway really exist, installed by the Honah Lee folks as a wedding photo and party backdrop. The background is spring but I have painted grape clusters in it which only ripen in August. Winemakers will take note but that is my artistic license.
