Rapaura road, Marlborough.

I have driven past this view many times but today I was able to stop and spend a few hours painting this.
Marlborough has very marked seasonal changes, thanks to it's vineyards. In winter the close clipped rows of vines have a lovely soft glow, quite different from the sharp greens of spring, the lush growth of summer, and the wild extravagance of autumn.
I will be back for more Marlborough en plein air.
