Our current featured artist is Jack Stuppin.
Sonoma Vines,
by Jack Stuppin, is an oil landscape depicting summer in Sonoma County. We stand on a slope under a quiet, hazy blue sky, gazing across a hillside vineyard into the distance at Mount St. Helena. The artist has used a tapestry of bright, rich blues, yellows and greens to capture the spectacular view before us. In the distance, at the foot of the mountain, lie chapparal-covered hills edged with dense evergreen forest.
