Description
This work won 1st place in the Riverside County International Date Festival (near Palm Springs, California. It was early in my painting journey and I have entered few contests since. The other Best of Show a few years later but I have not put it on FAA.
This is one of my larger watercolor paintings. While walking through a vineyard, I managed to get a photograph with the sun pouring through the vines and setting some of the Chardonnay grapes aglow. I loved the red ties holding the canes in place so I put them in. It has a companion piece that is lower on the vines, called "Chardonnay in Shadow"

A rich color palette, with light and detail centering the mood. A wonderful watercolor painting, so enchanting, Maria. L/F

Dear Maria, I think of you so often with wonderful memories of painting intershares, and your kindnesses many to me, …a newbie. No longer a novice to FAA, I still continue to re-visit and love my favorites of your portfolio, my dear friend and mentor! I eagerly anticipate seeing one of your amazing vintage repurposing exercises or a diminutive…I KNOW you still have the …”magie d’automne au fond de votre cœur”.

Amazing work Maria, I love how you portrayed the light through the grapes. Excellent work. f
