The Magic of Paso

30 × 40”, oil on canvas

The vines were starting to grow in the Paso Robles vineyards! I drove around recently and captured some of the magic happening on the hills and rolling hills of wine country.  I couldn’t stop but thinking how magical Paso Robles is this time of the year and that’s how I decided on the name for this painting!
