Story / Additional InfoIn 2018, the artist traveled through Napa to visit a friend. The wine country was lush with grapevines on the hillsides and winding roads. The red tile roofs appear in many of the artist's landscapes as does the tilted landscape, an influence from David Hockney. The style is post impressionist, also inspired by Pierre Bonnard. The painting was from photos taken by the artist and also her memory.
