Inspired by these socks from Annies Cloth and partially by my box of Franzia wine - and while I typically drink whites, I thought red would have more impact for this painting. So I sketched the idea in my head and then watercolored starting with a blue gray wash in the background. Mixed several reds, pink, purple and black to get the color for my wine then added some white highlights, which really brought the motion to life. Apple & garden green mixed with brown for the bottle . . . .
Stamped the wine labels in the bg and edged my painting with a gold paint pen.
This is going out to an SCSer, who for some unknown reason, has been heavy on my mind this week. I decided to follow my instincts and reach out to her.

What a beautiful and touching work of your ❤️ and art, Linda. I adore the movement you created in the pouring of the wine. Listening for the spirit is never wasted.

You are an accomplished artist, Linda! I tried painting wine at one of those painting nights and it sure didn't look anything like this!! The wine label stamps make a great BG!!

This is fabulous! I love your wonderful image - always a tad envious of someone who can do more than draw a stick person. I also love the socks you chose as inspiration!
