Sonoma Foothills by Monique Straub

California landscape paintings are favorites of mine, and the wine country offers an endless source of beautiful settings. John and I are looking forward to another trip to Sonoma soon. He will get his race car fix at Infineon Raceway, while I'll be armed with sketchbook, pastels and camera. Maybe a few race car paintings, definitely more vineyard paintings, and oh...I'm sure there will be a few glasses of the grape in there somewhere!

Painted in soft pastel on sandpaper, this piece is 9" x 12" and framed in wide, dark wood with UV/non-glare museum glass. Buy it now price: $250 + $30 to ship anywhere in the continental U.S. or Canada.

"Torrey Pines Vista" by Monique Straub

Another in my Torrey Pines Nature Preserve series, this is one of the many beautiful views from the hiking trails that overlook the Pacific Ocean. Looking south down the coast, with La Jolla in the distance, the ocean breezes and smell of warm pine needles underfoot make for a truly enjoyable afternoon stroll.
