One of the more memorable excursions from our time here in Italy was a wine tasting day-trip to an authentic chianti vineyard and winery. Our host Fernando had all the looks of a wise old winemaker, and he proved one of the more animated characters that I encountered. I did up a sketch of him on the bus ride back from the winery (through the beautiful hills of Tuscany), and then painted it this weekend on the train rides to and from Cinque Terre. For the record, the view in the background of the painting is the same one we had while sipping on some of Italy's finest wines under the shade of a Tuscan patio.
