“When I first set out to create this landscape, I had a
much smaller painting in mind,” says June of Song of the
Wine Country. “In the area of Sonoma’s Field Stone
Winery there is this intricate spread of patchwork greens that
extends as far as your eye can see.With each study I created,
I found that I still had to stretch the panorama longer and longer
and longer to capture the full and differing shades of green
you see when you are there. It flows like a lively symphony,
meandering playfully and returning always to its melodic theme
song—thus the title, Song of the Wine Country.” |
