This past saturday 25 artists infiltrated the Naramata Bench vineyards to knock off some open air (en plein air) paintings in support of the Penticton Art Gallery. I had the pleasure of painting with four others at the beautiful Marichel Vineyards. Elizabeth and Richard were very gracious hosts and rewarded us at days end with a complimentary bottle of their wonderful 2008 Syrah. I've just had a little taste so far but highly recommend it. Beautiful!
The day was overcast but the scenery was lovely and it was a healthy break from my current portrait obsession. I appreciated the comradery as the family of artists gathered at the Art Gallery for some celebration of the days achievements and a surprise party in appreciation of several peoples' long service to the areas artistic community.
