I love driving the winding roads through Paso Robles wine country. At the high elevations, I pass by sun-lit vineyards and open orchards, and when the roads dip down in the valleys, I pass beneath overhanging oak trees and hanging moss, and I can hear the sound of water trickling by in the nearby stream. This painting captures this view of Paso from between the oak trees, where crystalline light casts long shadows across the road.

Crystalline light in warm autumn hues fills this landscape with ethereal color tones.

These frames are one-of-a-kind, hand carved in the US and hand gilded with 23kt gold leaf. The clay beneath the gold leaf is colored to complement the underpainting color in this oil painting. The Open Impressionsist frame is a beautiful blend of classic American impressionist frames and contemporary "floater frames," just as Hanson's style is a unique blend of the classic and contemporary. The frame is designed to stand away from the edge of the canvas, leaving a 1/4" gap around the painting, which allows you to experience every brush stroke on the canvas. This "open" style of framing gives the painting room to expand and fill the eye, without losing any of the vivid color or delicate motion of the brush strokes.
