    Why art is so cool!

    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. I could get lost in her work too. Do you have one of her paintings in your shop?

    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.
