Why art is so cool!

[Running Mommy]

Today at the shop I was bragging on my great aunt Helene, who is an artist.
I went into her website and found this picture.
I started imagining myself back in nor cal winding my way through the back roads of sonoma county.
It's just amazing how a painting can take you places...

Wow! Gorgeous, gorgeous colors in her paintings. I really like the red fields and I noticed that she displays her work in wine tour areas. :cool: I could get lost in her work too. Do you have one of her paintings in your shop?

Born and raised in Sonoma county, very evocative of the place I think is the most beautiful spot on earth. I like this one of our hills

Thanks for sharing. I love the pictures..

That one with the leaning trees and winding path is evocative, kind of spooky even.
I like art that makes you imagine a story.

Your aunt is so fortunate to have such great talent.
