A good friend of mine asked me a few months back if he could commission me to do a painting from a picture he took. He and his girlfriend love Paso Robles and it’s one of the semi-local places that they like to frequent. Located about a half hour from the ocean in the coastal mountain range of central California, it’s almost right in between Los Angeles and San Francisco on US Highway 101. It’s probably best known for its vineyards and is reminiscent of a smaller Napa, but with the convenience of being much closer to Los Angeles. The picture he asked me to work from was looking across a hill and vineyard he had taken on one of his trips to Paso Robles. I decided to paint two different canvases that were sophisticated enough to stand alone as individual paintings, but would also make one picture when placed next to each other.
