The Harvest
by June Carey
With The Harvest, artist June Carey returns to the location of her sell-out fine art edition Lost in a View. Inspired
by the hills surrounding Florence and the Castello di Verrazzano
Chianti region, the painting marks the warm fall days of the Tuscan
grape harvest in late September and early October. Working farmers
of all ages, men and women wearing their long aprons, gather at
the edge of the field, laughing, talking and sometimes singing. They
then go out with great purpose and energy, carrying their red buckets
through the seasoned vines which are heavy with deep blue clusters of
grapes. Cypress trees surround the ancient walls of the buildings that
mark the home of wine cellars since the twelfth century.
“I
bought one of the red grape harvest buckets to use as a prop in the
paintings. At the vineyard, the workers eyed my camera with suspicion
and curiosity. I held it up and yelled ‘Artista di California. E'
bello!’ They laughed among themselves and went back to the
harvest.”
