Unlike today, last weekend the weather was perfect for a bike ride and I chose to head into the Russian River Valley. The autumn colors were at their peak, draping the landscape in deep oranges, rich reds, and golds. In another week, two at most, these warm colors of autumn will be replaced with winter greens.
Richard, your art makes me want to jump on the nearest form of transportation and go see Healdsburg and all of Sonoma Wine Country for myself. But wherever I am, I think my exposure to your work has given me a keener eye.
Thanks Jean! Yes, you can see wine country through my eyes, but if you purchase a bottle of wine produced in the area, you can taste it too!
