31 Days of Monsters: Day Twenty-five — The Rebobs

Napa natives know all about the rebobs, hideous flying monkeys that live in the cemetery at the end of Partrick Road. Doubters will claim it's all just a story made up to keep young lovers away from a known make-out spot. But there are people who claim to have been attacked by the beasts, and lived to tell the tale. Who's really to say what's truth and what's fantasy?

I never drink ... wine

"Tending the vines"

As a lifelong Wine Country resident, I've had to draw my share of vineyards, wine glasses and bottles.
I can do it, but given my druthers, I'd choose almost any other subject.
If I drank wine, I'd probably feel differently, but I rarely drink and when I do, it's usually a nice refreshing gin & tonic.
I feel, in a way, that trading on being a Napa Valley native by drawing and painting vineyard scenes and wine-themed still lifes would be dishonest. There are good artists out there who know wine, and care passionately about the subject matter. To me however, it's just a background to more passionate interests.
Like vampires for instance.
Hmmm ... if only there were a Monster Country I could move to. I'm sure I'd be a sensation!
