Artist Comments
A vineyard stretches out with bold, loose brushwork and a dark underpainting that highlights form and color. The radiating rows of grapevines create a focused composition, guiding the viewer's eye toward the defined mountains. To the left, hazy hills in the distance add depth, while the palette contrasts blue and yellow greens. Bright light at the horizon transitions into a glowing sky, where cornflower blue peeks through dreamy ochre clouds.
