Semler and Saddlerock Mural

We are ready to start painting on the other side of our 18 wheeler 53 foot tractor trailer mural. It has been a very rewarding experience to airbrush a mural of our Vineyards at Saddlerock. The first side of the trailer we painted a mural of the vineyards at high noon with bottles of Saddlerock on top of the background. The second side which we are starting this week is going to be sunset at Saddlerock Ranch with vineyards and bottles of the Semler Wines. The kids will be painting on some of the larger portions of the mural. This mural has been a very rewarding experience can you imagine painting by airbrush on a 53 foot long canvas? We are using 3 different size airbrushes for the mural. The first side of the truck trailer will be featured in our Malibu Family Wines ad in the LA Magazine for the November edition. I will continue to post work in progress photos of the second side of our trailer. Check out the vineyards and wines at www.malibufamilywines.com.

Happy Painting!

Saturday Night at Malibu Wines Tasting Room

6:00 on Saturday night in the Santa Monica Mountains in Malibu it was a balmy 75 degrees. Live music was playing featuring the music of Alex Wright. The wine was flowing and just about everyone brought a picnic of salads, cheeses and breads. The night was wonderful. A place to sit out in the beautiful Southern California weather and enjoy live music, Semler and Saddlerock Wines and the kids can play horseshoes, bocce ball or swing on the porch swing. I have found myself going over more and more on Friday and Saturday night to listen to the music and enjoy the company of my friends. The Malibu Wines Tasting room at 31800 Mulholland Highway is an experience not to be missed!

Photos for ad in LA Magazine




One day rest after shooting an ad for LA Magazine. Try taking photos of kids where they all happen to be looking in the right direction at the same time! HA! We had a great time taking photos, eating grapes, climbing on scaffolding and trying to beat the sunset. Currently we are painting a mural on both sides of a 53 foot trailer and it has been quite the experience. The trailer is one that we currently use to deliver our grapes to be fermented into wine and to deliver wine when bottled, labeled and packaged ready for the store.

Mural in Malibu

I have let the kids attend camp at Malibu Makos, Tennis camp at Sherwood and the Parks at Rec sports camp at Lost Hills. Occasionally we have all spent the day painting a mural on the 53 foot trailer that will deliver our grapes and wine around Southern California. The kids have even created sculptures from all of the stuff we have at the painting site. We are currently working on airbrushing this trailer with automotive paint. The trailer will have vineyards with bottles of our wine about 8-10 feet tall. I can't wait to paint tomorrow.
