On July 20th I got to visit the Mountain Winery in Saratoga Ca for the first time! (Thanks Sara) I did a couple of quickie sketches.  It was a beautiful evening, warm and with a full moon and good company.

 The view to the south, of the full moon!

Some of the old barrels stacked in alcoves in the side of the building, and a tad of the crowd.

 Quick sketching in Emeryville...For the last few weeks I have been going out landscape painting with Tim and Robert at least once a week, early in the mornings.  This was an early Thursday morning in July.

Taking notes and doing some sketching, it helps me pay attention and I enjoy seeing and drawing so much, and doing battle with my hand eye coordination. Just to make things fair, I later added beer.
