Delicious Cargo

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.

Comment by Stuart J. Gourlay on July 23, 2015 at 10:43: Thanks Thomas!! This completes my truck series for Workshop45. But if I find more restored trucks and cars in settings like this, I need to paint them!! On my way to the Fogarty Winery last Sunday with my wife we stopped for breakfast and saw a man, probably in his 80s, pampering an immaculate british racing green 1967 Morgan roadster that he had completely restored 25 years ago. Unfortunately, I didn't have my camera and didn't think to get some pictures with my cell phone; if I had taking photos, I would be painting it now!!!
