As you walk in to Louis M. Martini Winery http://www.louismartini.com/, this custom gate greets you. It is my first attempt to paint a gate. It is not easy.

When we visited Whitehall Lane http://www.whitehalllane.com/ the wisteria were in full bloom. It was amazing, and it is something you only experience for a few peak days. The flowers were incredibly fragrant. In this painting, I tried to capture the wisteria, and contrast the purple with the yellow of Whitehall's stucco facade.
