Extreme Value Adding - Patterned Sheep by Joan Stratton - Four black and white patterned sheep with black faces and legs, roam the paddocks of dried summer grasses while a cheeky Australian Willie Wagtail bird is perched on the barbed wire fence. Value adding to farming produce can be a tricky business but this farmer has bred wonderfully patterned sheep.

Hand-drawn painting / graphic illustration from scratch based on my sister's sheep which are a mixed breed of Suffolk and Merino plus the mischievous Australian Willie Wagtail which is the largest of the Australian fantails. Indigenous mythology is that the Willie Wagtail loiters just at the edge of the camp, close enough to listen in on secret conversations, that they later spread about just like their wings.

A Bunch Of Grapes

There is certainly a joy living near one of the most famous wine tasting areas in the world. A trip to the vineyards is certainly one of them.
There are a number of wineries where my wife and feel like home at. I have got to know a number of wine makers over the years and have been given the opportunity to photograph a few vineyards unfettered.

A Bunch Of Grapes

Or maybe bunches of grapes? Anyways I was walking through a local vineyard near harvest time. These grapes to my eyes were ready for picking. 
The subject of this image is the beautiful blue/purple color of these grapes growing in a couple of bunches on the grapevine. The grapes are and the bunches are tight hanging off the branch of the vine. 
Also seen in this image are a couple of limbs from the vine, some of the leifs of the vine and the background truly is the ground.

Annunciation by Oleksandr Murashko (1875-1919).
He was one of those outstanding artists who initiated the 20th-century culture in #Ukraine. Creatively assimilating contemporary European artistic trends, in particular #impressionistic innovations in light and space rendering and decorativeness of Art Nouveau, Murashko created his own painting system.

Is there any Hawaiian experience more classic than attending a Luau? Soft Hawaiian music carried on warm tropical breezes beckon you into the circle. Dramatic tiki torches glow brilliantly against a fading purple sky and illuminate tall dark palm trees towering silently above. The smell of roasting meat and tropical flavors wafts through the air, surrounding you. A fruity Mai Tai in your hand ensures complete relaxation. This is pure theatre for your evening enjoyment.

Red Wine Grapes - Painterly
I love being 30 minutes to downtown Napa it's really hard to beat. I love to go wine tasting and taking in the atmosphere of Napa Valley.
I captured a series of images of some red wine grapes hanging on the vine very close to harvest time. In this image I applied a painterly effect to this image to give it a more classic look.

Red Wine Grapes - Painterly

 This is an image of some grapes that will soon be pressed into red wine shortly.
The image is framed at the top by a thick limb from an older grape vine. 
There are two bunches in this view. The focus is on the near bunch with a shallow depth of field most other details in the image are soft. 
I enhanced that softness by digitally giving this image a painterly effect.
The image is bright and colorful with beautiful purple grapes and bright green leafs.

Heitz Cellars
Fall color comes to Napa late in the year. The colors here start changing typically towards the end of October and seem to peak early in November.
The timing of this color change depends on the grape. Some vines just turn brown and die. Some have a reddish hue to them with maybe a touch of purple. It seems that the majority turn yellow as is the case in this capture.

Between the Rows

Between the Rows, the title kind of says it all. People, it seems are drawn to order. Check the right box, everything in its place, so on and so forth.
The human eye also likes order, when looking at a photograph the eye quickly searches for a place to land and when you have crop rows your eyes follow them back and then hold you at the horizon. See the full image here: https://fineartamerica.com/featured/between-the-rows-bill-gallagher.html #BetweenTheRows #BillGallagherPhotography #BuyIntoArt #AYearForArt #Napa #Vineyard

Between The Rows

There are a number of compositional tools used in this image and that's what it really is about.
What you see in front of you is a vineyard captured a little after sunrise. 
Compositional tool number 1 is the leading lines. This image shows the grapevines in rows. The crop rows, including the spices grown between the rows all pull you deeper into the image. 
Composition tool # 2 is that the image isn't centered. The featured crop row is right of center and sits at a spot that is 2/3 from the left border. 
The 3rd tool is light. The straburst light coming through the grapevines pulls at your attention as well. So you have a tendancy to look deep into the image but then get pulled out towards the brightest object but then your eyes search for a place to land and once more you are back near the vanashing point. 
A fourth tool is color. These grapevines have all been picked and the leaves are a beautiful orange and yellow color for the fall.

Golden Light in the Valley

One of my favorite times of the year to drive around Napa Valley is during the fall season.
The grapes have been picked and the weather is cooling. The grape vines start shutting down, preparing them for the cold wet winter. As they do this the grape vines take on an amazing shade of yellow that just pops when the sun is hitting low in the sky.

Color On the Vine

Fall in the Napa Valley must be my favorite time of year to visit the area, The smell of the crush, sounds of the bottling operations in process, the crisp cool morning air with clear skies and the vines start taking on their fall colors.
This image was found early one fall morning in the Napa Valley. See the full image here: https://fineartamerica.com/featured/color-on-the-vine-bill-gallagher.html #ColorOnTheVine #BillGallagherPhotography #BuyIntoArt #AYearForArt #NapaValley #Fall #Autumn #FallColor #Vineyard #GrapeVines

Color On The Vine

This image was captured off of the Silverado Trail in the Napa Valley in Northern California.
This is an image that is looking down a couple of rows of grapevines in a Napa Valley vineyard. The angle of the rows lead the eye from left to right and bottom to the mirrle right of the image. 
The grapes have already been harvested but the leaves on the vines has turned a brilliant yellow and orange, especially midway through the photo where the early morning light is hitting the top of the vines.

The Bleeding Hearts Flowers are often called the Flowers Of Romance and are a traditional favorite in the garden. The outstanding characteristic of Bleeding Hearts is the shape of the flowers from which a drop of "blood" dangles at the bottom. Simplicity is the "heart" of this image.

Anderson Valley Barn

The Anderson Valley, is ust over two hours north of San Francisco.
It's well worth the drive to this quit little area in southern Mendocino County.
You won't find much in Anderson Valley and that is part of the charm. A couple of small villages, a few campgrounds, and a number of wineries, and a brewery.

Anderson Valley Barn

A couple of hours north of San Francisco, between US 101 and California Hwy. 1 is the beautiful Anderson Valley. 
This image was captured at a vineyard off of Highway 128 at one of the local vineyards. I just loved the old weathered wood on the barn 
The foreground of this image has a split rail fence with tall grass growing on both sides of it. 
The barn with the tin roof and weathered wood is framed by a couple of hardwood trees. In the background off to the right you can see where some of the grape vines are growing.
