A few weeks ago, as we drove close to our vacation home in the Moselle valley we were surprised by the Autumn colours of the vineyards. Last spring all was still bare, only a few leaves visible, now a warm yellow was the dominant colour.
We stopped - in a safe spot- for some pictures and looking through these pictures I really did like this scene, although I feared that a painting would not really do justice to the great view.
So I had to add something unexpected and the binoculars were a very logical choice. This is mostly because looking far is 'ver kijken' and binoculars is 'verrekijker' in Dutch.
The binoculars are antique ones, and I changed the angle (on Internet they are pictured from the front) so they could hang from the nail.
This was fun!
The information about the materials I have used, the size and availability of this work and - if you are interested in my original artwork - my contact information can all be found in my Tumblr blog.
