Gouache on clayboard
$495

Gouache, opaque watercolor,s has certainly been a challenge. I am now painting on clayboard and will spray my painting so that it can be framed without glass. I am finding gouache to be half way between watercolors and oils. I think I will consider painting plein air with gouache as I travel to the wineries of Kelowna-easier to pack and take on a plane!

Canadian Wine and Art Vacation

Wine country! Vineyards, grapes, tastings, gorgeous surroundings and plein air painting!
Since  I have dedicating a year to painting wine and desserts I am amazed at how many opportunities have presented themselves.
Road trip!!This summer I will be on my way to the Okanagan Valley in British Columbia to tour the wineries with my artist buddy Valerie Rogers!
 Valerie and I are looking for art friendly wineries, locations to paint, dynamic local galleries and accommodations that would support a painting holiday workshop.
We are finalizing our scheduled and looking at the various wine tours that will fit into our tight schedule.
So, I must read up on the wine industry in Western Canada. I'll let you know what I find!
