Holiday to Argentina Inspires Quick Watercolour and Ink Vineyard Painting!

On the way up to Edinburgh for the weekend, looking out of the rain splattered window with a pencil in my hand, my thoughts drifted back to Mendoza, Argentina where my body had been two weeks ago... I started thinking of Mendoza's beloved sun-drenched vineyards with a backdrop of the sheer Andes, all framed by a bright blue sky. Ahh, the desert, the sun and the wine...

After we had got past Newcastle I had already completed this drawing and I felt a little better for it. Even if I wasn't going back in a hurry, I had something else to look at other than the rain pouring down in the Pennines (beautiful as the Northern English countryside is, seeing it spattered with rain so soon after a trip to Mendoza would have anyone's spirits a little low!)
