Trip to the photographer

Once the painting is complete (this process sometimes takes a long time – every painting has its own timetable), it's time to be photographed. Dusk in the Vineyards is 4' square – just a tad too large for my Volvo stationwagon – but my friend Lil very kindly loaned me her van for the trip to the photographer's in Napa.

Photographer Dave Courtney has a setup that can scan paintings much larger than this. He uses two large-format cameras for the scan. It's an impressive process – much more accurate than what I am able to photograph myself, and at much higher resolution.

I returned the next day for the painting and the scan, and then it was time to head back home to Calistoga, and hang the painting in Lil's store, Funke's, where it currently graces the back wall. I have to say, I do love this painting.... (You know, they're kind of like my children....)
