This is the Study for 14 x 40 foot mural outside of Wilfred's Lounge in Napa, picturing Flora comes arriving in Napa from Hawaii and passing thru the First Street bridge on her way to her new home....
After getting approval and blessings from Doc Parkes
I am releasing prints of this loving tribute to Flora and the Flora Springs Winery that adorns the outside wall at Wilfred’s.
This is the initial study for the mural, and a cleaner, more simplified version was approved for the final painting.
There will be only a handful of these available for now
so if you'd like to adopt one, Here is the only place you can get one on Earth!
Here's a little background on Flora Cabral,later to be Flora Komes....
She was born in 1911 and grew up in Honolulu Hawaii.
At 18 she ventured overseas to San Francisco to attend nursing school.
She met and married Jerry in 1935,but only after graduating and securing a position as a nurse.
The couple had three children and moved around through California and Texas for Jerry's engineering career,eventually landing them back in San Francisco, working for Bechtel Corporation. In 1977,the couple purchased 325 acres of land and 60 acres of vineyards from the Martini estate,which became the Flora Springs winery,established by John and Carrie Komes and Pat Garvey and named in honor of Flora and the natural springs that run thru through the property. John Kome's talent as a contracter allowed him to renovate the old ghost winery building and other original buildings on the property .
Here's a link to their site and rich family history.
