Some years we get blossoms on our fruit trees and some years we don't.  It depends on when the last frost is each spring.  At 6,000 feet we can have a freeze in Colorado Springs into May.

6" x 6"  Oil

$100.00 + $10. s/h

I've painted a similar wine still life before.  But, I like the burgundy against the gray/blue. So I'm going with what works for me.  

I recently stated that I use Google for title ideas.  Today I Googled "phrases about wine" and a whole page of wine quotes was there in front of me.  I chose:  

"God made water, but man made wine."  by Victor Hugo.

Pomegranate

Oil 14" x 11"

One of my goals this year is to paint more large pieces.  I'm not sure if 14" x 11" counts as large, but, it's not small.  So, I think it's ok.  Another goal is to finish paintings.  I started this previously and only got the pomegranates finished, they don't last.  So I just finished the rest.

I'll be posting several wine, and maybe some cocktail, related paintings over the next few weeks as I get ready for an upcoming wine tasting at G44 Gallery.  However, these are available.  I can always paint another for the gallery.

I always make art goals every year.  I recently mentioned that one of them is to paint more large pieces.    Another is to work on grays.  These grays are dark, but I love the drama created.

In this little piece the shadow has become almost as important as the flower.  I love the way my eye moves around the flower, around the shadow, around the vase shadow top, around the top of the vase, up the stem and then moves all over again!

My husband and I just got back from an incredible, once in a life time trip!  Those of you who follow my blog know that we love to travel.  So, to celebrate our birthdays and 30th anniversary, we decided to take a trip.  Peter wanted to go on a transatlantic crossing and I wanted to go to Italy for 3 weeks.  Since relationships need a lot of compromising, we did both!  I posted off and on during the trip as we had internet access and time, and will try to catch up with more paintings and trip photos.

This was one of five coffee makers in the apartment we rented in Lido in Venice.  (We found the apartment on VRBO, vacation rental by owner).  I loved the colors and reflections of all the coffee makers.  And, got to love European coffee!
