These are some wine (and one Tequila) related paintings that will be unveiled at the Red River Revel.

As I said in a previous post I plan to show new paintings each day and mention something that I particularly like about the Revel. 

Today I am mentioning the staff and volunteers that take care of us there.  They are some of the nicest people you could ever want to know.  They run an organized show as far as set-up and administration goes.  And they take good care of us by having an awesome crew of volunteers feed us and bring us water and just generally check on us from time to time.  They really appreciate the artists and it is definitely not that way at every show.  So my thanks to them...I look forward to seeing them Friday!

Wine and pears go well together.  But they need cheese.  I guess I should start painting cheese.

18x36...."50 Shades of Green"

8x24......"Bottled Up"

 

Over the last few years I have been honored three times to be the featured artist for the "Cork" wine festival in Shreveport.  2014 was one of the years and these are some wine bottle paintings that I did for this event.  I have to say.....Shreveport can put on some awesome, well-run festivals and events.  The staff and volunteers there are amazing!!!! 

Wine, wine and more wine....oil paintings

These are more of the wine paintings that I did this spring.  I did a lot.... one, because I am in five shows or festivals and they always sell, and two, because I am a wino.

Wine me dine me.....wine oil paintings

I previously did a smaller "study" version of the wine bottle with oranges.  I really liked it so I did a larger version and love it as well.

But the second painting, the one marked "Not for Sale" has been added to my private collection.  I decided I cannot part with it for now.  My husband and I just love the way my artist friend Martin Welch has his home decorated.  He has lots of his own art as well as that of others featured throughout his home, high and low, covering most all available space and it is stunning!  My husband suggested that I start collecting a little more of my own art along the way.  This is going to be one of three anchor pieces on my dining room "wine wall".  You should see it in person....it is just so happy.

Wine Art...Oil Paintings...

Recently I was featured artist at the Cork Wine Festival in Shreveport, LA.  I was invited to come and display my artwork during the amazing wine tasting event that they sponsor every spring.  Believe me this is a first class event and I was proud and happy to be included.  I painted a lot of wine art for the event.  Above are some of the wine themed creations.

What's for Dinner?.....Oil Painting

This is a fairly large painting...24x24...and I can just see it gracing a dining room wall somewhere.  The background is so much prettier than the photo seems to indicate.  I'll admit this one has spent a little time in my living room.  (The ones I really like, I bring them out of the foyer and rest them on the fireplace where I can see them when I watch TV at night.  That way I get to enjoy them for a while before they find a new home.)
