This is a colored pencil painting based on a photograph that I took at a winery in California earlier this summer. As I passed through the tasting area, I saw the empty glasses and bottle of those folks who had just completed their tasting. I knew that this would make a very interesting piece. Especially intriguing is how the background scene is somewhat distorted as seen through the wine glasses. The piece is entitled "Companions" because I couldn't help but wonder if the couple who had just left were husband and wife. The piece is done on Dura-lar polyester film using Farber-Castell Polychromos, Dick Blick, and Marshall pencils. The size of the piece is 8 X 12 inches. I hope that you can envision yourself enjoying a fine wine with someone special in your life.
