Cote D'Or

Cote D'Or  8x8 oil on museum board

 This is the time of year in Burgundy when the magic happens.
I'm not talking about Halloween, I'm talking about the wine harvest.
The vines show off their fall colors and is why this area in Burgundy
 is called Cote D'Or, the Gold Coast.
Each village celebrates with a wine tasting and lots of discussion
about how good the wine will be from this harvest.
It does look like a promising year for the wine with a wet spring and a long dry fall
that forces the wine to struggle to survive.

Robi and I have really enjoyed these long warm afternoons and wish they could last forever!

Good Morning

Good Morning 8x8 oil on museum board

There is just something about the French charolais cows
the appeals to me, an indescribable 'je ne sais quoi'.
Maybe it's their long dreamy eyelashes and their curious
personalities.  Maybe it's just the way the light
skips across their well rounded form.
France is not the place to skimp on what you eat!
