Sun in the vineyard

Wandering in the countryside near Siena you see rows of vineyards laden with purple grapes, leaves fading to yellow and copper.This painting is the result of a trip I took last September with my good friend Camilla, a great lady and, like most Italians, a scary driver. We came back alive and had a great time. A long walk among the vineyards was followed by a lunch in a trattoria in Montepulciano where we had fettuccine with Porcini mushrooms and a glass of red wine.
