California Sun break at Noon in a Walled Garden with Vineyard
Oil on canvas
Nude study for a young lady taking a sunny respite at noon in a walled garden. Grape vines of Pinot Noir grow around and overhead.
Artist’s Comments
The nude study is the first of a few female nudes to be painted by the artist. The simplicity of the body contrasts with perhaps the deep thought of a young academician contemplating the coming afternoon classes.
