Today I completed this painting of St. Francis Winery http://www.stfranciswine.com/. You can see a great shot of this building on their website home page, so take a look at the link.

While I was making this, I was unhappy with the color of the tower, but I glazed it with a china white paint at the end, and I am pleased with the final look. I am sure that is just awful and trained watercolor artists are cringing at reading this... but the white wash did the trick! I was also unsure about the shadows as I painted, but stepping back, I think they work.

Enjoy!

I painted this to use as a client gift for customers of a vintage car service.

There are two versions of the painting. The first I did in about 15 minutes. I came back to the painting at night and added more color and more detail. The car is a 1953 Rolls Royce Silver Wraith.

It is my first attempt at painting a car. It was fun to paint, so watch for more cars.
