Vineyard at Mapleton

Oil on canvas - 6" x 8" (Sold)   This is a study completed a few years ago of a small vineyard on Old Mission Peninsula which fascinated me for a long time before I attempted to paint it.  I am so often reminded how quickly the land changes; recently I passed by and noticed that the grove of trees on the right side had been cut down, leaving a huge gaping hole in the hillside.  Several months later the hillside was planted with something, possibly more grapes.
