" The Eucalyptus
Coast " |
|
“Just north of San Francisco, there are
still places as unspoiled as this farm. As soon as the winter rains end,
the green grasses turn golden brown. In between the grazing lands like
this are forests of oak, cypress and eucalyptus. The eucalyptuses are a
beautiful part of our relatively young history here. They have thrived
and grown large against the powerful cold winds that blow off the
Pacific waters. Like people, with their many textures, moods and colors,
they are a tribute to the character, strength, and spirit of survival in
the West.” |

" Lost In
Chianti " |
|
“This scene has actually been in
the works for several years. I love village scenes and I
think this will be the first of many. I hadn’t planned to
include the figures or the dog when I began. My friend in
Italy had a sweet yellow Lab who was my buddy when I stayed
there, but he got sick and passed away, so I wanted to put
him in the picture. Even though the poster says my yellow
Lab is lost, you can see him coming up the street. I added
the women because I feel that the people are as beautiful a
part of Tuscany as the land and the history. Perso means
“lost” and I usually am lost when I’m there! I don’t know
where this village is—I hope that I can get lost there again
sometime and that I can recognize the place!”

Cascade of Light,
Emerald Bay,
Lake Tahoe |
I decided that I wanted to paint early
morning light on the falls—and I am not a morning person. I got up at five
a.m. to catch the light and it was worth it. In order to get the shot, I
held my camera strap between my teeth and climbed out over the boulders of
Eagle Falls. I held the camera at arms length and hoped for the best. Just
getting to paint this scene was a journey, but the pleasure it brings to
everyone (including myself) makes it more than worth it.”

Primavera |
|
Primavera (new life) is the Italian word
for spring. It is Maggio (May) in this Tuscan scene, the poppies have begun
to bloom and every tree, vine and flower is full of new life. The young
artichokes have come up again on their own, among the grasses and fiori
(flowers) of spring. The gardener tends the new growth on the vineyards,
wearing the traditional leather apron and heavy boots. |

My Sonoma |
|
“This bend in the road is a remote corner
of the Alexander Valley, I go there to escape the congestion of the rest of
the world—I don’t want to share the actual location, really! The chickens
and geese wander happily through the vines, eating insects they find hiding
under leaves and in the grass. The summer days are long, allowing the grapes
to mature in their own good time. Tiger lilies and summer grasses support
the wobbly arbor that tempts me to wander just a little bit closer.”

Springtime in the
Mission Garden |
|
Spring comes early to the gardens of
Mission San Carlos de Borromeo de Carmelo in California. Even now you may
see the padres, working to turn the earth and replant. The beauty of an
ancient garden is, for all its history, ever-changing. |

Bougainvillea |
Just after the turn of the century, Father
St. John O'Sullivan became pastor of the Mission San Juan Capistrano. Both
seemed fated to perish from this earth: Father O'Sullivan from tuberculosis,
the Mission from the ravages of time. It was the priest's inspiration to
restore the Mission to its previous splendor and create throughout it
magnificent gardens to rival those of the Alhambra in Spain.'' Such a
passion for the gifts of the land seems to have a power that extends far
beyond simple beauty. Father O'Sullivan survived to oversee the Mission's
restoration for
twenty-three years."

Imported
Vines |
"This vine has evolved from the hills of
ancient Italy and France to the Northern California wine country. The vines
themselves are works of art, either flowing as green ribbons into distant
valley vistas or in their twisting close encounters beneath dusty bunches of
ripening berries.''

The
Padre's Vineyard |
|
"Mission grapes were developed by the
Spanish Padres that arrived in the 1700s for mission wine they still grow
today. The missions were self sufficient, supporting not only themselves,
but their many converts. They grew all their own food, raised livestock and,
of course, they needed the Holy Wine!" |

Vineyard
Tankhouse |
|
Tankhouses are as romantic a vineyard
visage as the rows of grapes themselves. There’s a whimsical charm
surrounding the old vineyard tankhouses with their angled walls. Long before
piped irrigation, farmers pumped water from shallow wells using a windmill
powered pump that would force the water up into an elevated tank. Gravity
would then provide the water pressure necessary to irrigate the fields.
When piped water became available, the tankhouses were no longer needed.
Vineyard Tankhouse was inspired by the
vineyards of Alexander Valley and combines a favorite subject of the artist
with the low warm light of the end of day. |

Pacheco Pass |
|
Named for 19th century ranch owner Don
Francisco Perez Pacheco, the fertile Pacheco Pass was the home of the Ausaymus Indians for centuries. Living peacefully off the land, these
Indians used a natural artesian spring they named “Bright Bubbling” as a
year-round source of fresh water. This spring and its location would prove
to be important in the years to
come. A path was carved into the area by Indians
traveling in from the coast to trade. After the establishment of the
California Missions, the trail’s main travelers were Mission Padres
attempting to convert the central Californian Indians. With the discovery of
gold in 1848, this same area was part of the main travel route from coastal
California to the mines. As the population increased, the area’s rich soil
was cultivated to produce fruit trees and vineyards. |

valleys of the Greve and the Ema streams, south of Florence. Known as “in
pineta” (within the pine woods), Impruneta’s pine forests can still be seen
among the olive groves on the surrounding hills. Florence, the unspoiled and
fascinating birthplace of the Renaissance, lies in the distance. |

Oil Trees of Chianti |
|
Oil Trees of
Chianti is the fourth image in June’s Dona di Natura series, which focuses
on the romance of Italy’s fabled wine country. The Chianti region,
considered one of the oldest wine regions in the world, makes some of the
highest quality olive oil from trees in its hills. It takes at least 50
years for an olive tree to get into full production making Chianti olive oil
some of the rarest in the world. |

Sonoma
Valley Summer |

“The rich, warm summer air woke my senses and
I found myself in the lovely Sonoma Valley,” says artist June Carey. “With
the midday sun high over my head, I was inspired by the vibrant greens of
the exuberant new leaves and intrigued by the way the green gently folded
into the distance, the humidity tinting it to blue and violet as it
disappeared into the bright sky.” |

“I was struck by

of the green coasts of the British Isles.”
-June CareySlide Ranch is located
in beautiful Marin County, just a few miles north of the Golden Gate Bridge.
Once home to the Miwok Indians, today the ranch has been preserved as a
national park. |

A Taste
of Heaven |

The Russian River
Valley was settled in the early 1800s by Russian winegrowers who had found
their new home along the Northern California coast. The character and soul
of the valley’s wine flows from the land and its generations of tender
cultivation. |

The
Mission at San Juan Capistrano |
“Walking through
the corridors of this ancient place, I find my greatest joy comes from the
contrast of the verdant vines and lush gardens overtaking the crumbling
walls with life. This giant pepper tree’s spreading limbs gently shades the
peaceful courtyard while sunbeams haphazardly highlight the dusty paths
below.”

Lost in
View |
|
“I left Florence in
the morning and followed
a small white road up the hillside, hoping to find a magical view. I soon
found myself lost. But, as I rounded a corner, this breathtaking scene full
of seasoned vines, heavy with purple berries, spread before me.
Sometimes, it is only in those moments when we find ourselves lost that we
can find ourselves living in a dream like this one.” - June Carey |
