Spent yesterday afternoon at Mission Hill Vineyards, where French artist, Nathalie Decosta was signing wine bottles with photographs of her sculptures on the labels. Mission Hill Vineyards is the first and only Canadian (I think North American as well) showing of her work. She lives and works in France. She is inspirational to me as a fellow artist. Her sculptures are large in size but also rather slender and delicate looking. This blog includes only some of her work on display at the vineyard.<\/p>\n
\u00a0I had the most wonderful afternoon, out in the sun with Peter, photographing the sculptures. I believe a sunny September afternoon in the Okanagan is the Shangri-La of the Americas. I must add that the evenings are just as warm and lovely–watched the sunset from on top of Knox Mountain last evening–truly Shangri-La…<\/p>\n
