"Chianti's Bounty", Pastel Print 11" x 14" $95.
Row upon row of Chianti's purple grapes were ready for
harvest, and, inspired by the wine-to-be, I painted this piece. The vineyards
in this part of Tuscany produce the grapes used in namesake Chianti wine: It's
a landscape of historic olive groves, honey-colored stone farmhouses, dense
forests, graceful Romanesque pievi (rural churches), handsome Renaissance
villas and imposing stone castles built in the Middle Ages by Florentine and
Sienese warlords.
