The San Diego Watercolor Society’s monthly paintout group met yesterday at the Trevi Hills Winery in the hills above Lakeside. After a terrific demo by Drew Bandish, we each painted our own piece. I was intrigued by the designs the vines and boulders made against the chaparral and exaggerated them for this sketch.

I love how this image is so evocative of what it portrays and yet it’s also such a great array of simply patterns and also how as I look at it how it goes back and forth between the two states.

Now that you said it and brought it to my attention, agree about the pull between pattern and image. That is a a great way to think about narrative composition in general, thank you!

Thank you, Annie. It does have an Italian vibe, but also a bit of those Wayne Thiebaud’s landscapes we looked at together, don’t you think?
