Portfolio - Original Oil Paintings by Modern Impressionist Erin Hanson

California's Napa Valley is famous for its vineyards and wineries. In fact, when you hear "California wine country," Napa Valley is the first region that comes to mind. This idyllic corner of Northern California has attracted painters worldwide as they capture the many vistas found in this area of California wine country. While many wine varietals are produced in Napa Valley, it is best known for growing and producing juicy cabernet sauvignon and crisp chardonnay. The vine-covered landscapes afforded by this grape-growing region bring landscape painters like Erin Hanson back over and over to explore every season in this beautiful part of the U.S. Other famous painters who have depicted this area of the West Coast include Virgil Macey Williams and Thomas Hill.
