Oil on textured panel, 12" by 12" -- painted from photo references taken at Thomas Fogarty Winery, Portola Valley, California. This is a restored 1935 Ford pickup truck carrying wine barrels. These are chardonnay grapes and the wines are quite good!! Fog streaming over the ridge top in the Santa Cruz Mountains and obscuring the distant trees is quite frequent. Pinot Noirs from grapes grown in vineyards on this property are excellent as well.

This is my favorite, Stuart!!
Thank you very much Pauline!! I used two different photo references, because the car was parked at the edge of a parking area with a very boring hillside behind it, but across the road was this beautiful vineyard with the same lighting. I exaggerated the foggy appearance of the far trees, but that happens frequently on this property with the marine layer coming up over the ridge from the Pacific Ocean.
Great painting Stu, I just love the contrast between the car and landscape :-}}}
So realistic with such finely done details, Marvelous painting!!!
Bravo and lots of smiles :-)
