It was a sunny morning along the Danube River and we decided to bike from Dürnstein to Krems an der Donau for some coffee at a local cafe. There was a cool autumn breeze preventing us from getting overheated on the bike path. Little villages with ancient churches bathed in the sunlight. Rows and rows of grape vines stretch from the base of the hills to the side of the river. Just about to be harvested for the famous Riesling and Grüner Veltliner wines.



This painting would look best in a space that is dark green, red, orange, yellow, violet, purple, blue, black, white, beige, or on wood.
