 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!

I found these precious miniature pears in the

grocery and couldn't resist buying them

to paint.

They went really well with a glass of

white wine,  visually that is:)

 

Thanks so much for viewing my artwork

and taking the time to comment.

You complete me:)

The recent challenge to paint 30 paintings in 30 days

by Leslie Saeta

was great!

Sometimes it was fun and sometimes not so much.

I didn't get to 30 but feel like I did as well

as I could considering I was abroad for twelve days.

 

It was like attending Procrastinators Anonymous for big time

wasters like me who can loose focus in a heartbeat.

 

But the best part of participating, besides the motivation to

get my booty in gear, was seeing lots of fabulous art and

making so many wonderful new artists friends. 

Thanks to all for your encouraging comments

and lets stay connected!
