Wine Is Bottled Poetry!

Yes - I think all of us wine drinkers will agree - Wine IS poetry! Having grown up with an Italian father, who thought a little Chianti with dinner, would be be fine for a 10 year old - I remember him trying to order wine for me in an Italian restaurant and then arguing with the waitress - about how I was 16 years old and definitely old enough to drink wine. 

He must have been upset that I never liked wine when I was young (and what 10 year old does??) but now that I've matured way beyond 10 - I really can't eat a dish of pasta without a nice glass of red wine. Plus, there's nothing better than a cold glass of Riesling, on a hot summer day.

Maybe because of my love of wine - I've designed several wine prints - available in my Etsy shop.

You can even have your own custom designed Wine Label Print - with your name, location & year! These make fabulous housewarming and holiday gifts for the wine lover in your family.

Paris Bistro Watercolor, inspired by the French restaurant - Brasserie Gavroche in Singapore

If you ever find yourself on the other side of the world, in Singapore, you have to try this great French restaurant. It's called Brasserie Gavroche and it's located at 66 Tras Street. The food is absolutely delicious and very authentic - including (of course!) escargot.

When we left the restaurant, I knew I just had to paint this storefront! I painted it to look like it was in Paris, or possibly even Provence - and filled the painting with colorful flowers. A little bit of 'artistic license' made a more colorful (and French looking) watercolor.

The Vineyards of Chianti Region of Tuscany - Wine Cellar Mural

Tuscan Vineyard, Wine Cellar Mural, Lake Forest, Illinois

 This fabulous wine cellar (holding over 1,000 bottles of wine!) just needed the 'finishing touch' of a Tuscan Vineyard Mural - with it's colorful rolling hillsides - dotted with Tuscan Villas, grape vines and roses.

California Vineyard Mural, Painted in Grocery Store

 

 

While in the process of renovating their new grocery store (Artisanal - Wilmette, Illinois), the owners uncovered a brick wall and window.  Since this 'brick wall' was in the wine room, they decided it was the perfect spot to paint a California vineyard!

I painted this mural in one day.  So that you feel you are truly looking at a fabulous view from Artisanal's wine room, I added a Trompe L'oeil shutter.

I only wished I lived in Wilmette instead of Elmhurst.  Artisanal sounds like it's going to be fabulous!

Chianti Vineyards and Villas - Staircase Mural

I painted this mural in a staircase that led, from the family's kitchen, to their lower level. They wanted to sit at their kitchen table and feel like they were looking out to the rolling hillsides of Tuscany!

Columns, balusters and a grapes all add to the rustic, Italian look.

The hillsides are dotted with Villas, lakes, fields of hay and, of course, grape vineyards and olive trees.

Window Mural - Beautiful Chianti Region of Tuscany

After my recent trip to the Chianti region of Italy (where I took over 1,000 photos!) I knew that I had to paint a 'Tuscan Vineyard View' in my living room.

I was amazed that every square foot of Chianti looks like something that should be on a post card.  The view that I have painted was taken just a few feet from our Villa.

If you live in the Chicago area and are interested in discussing a *Tuscan mural for your wine cellar, family room, dining room, etc., please contact me. 

Think of how great it would be to wake up every morning (or have a nice glass of Chianti at night) and feel like you are sitting on your Tuscan terrace!

                              ````` ```````````````

 *I have many, many fantastic (original photos) of Chianti, Venice, Switzerland and Annecy, France - so we have tons of scenes to choose from!

Wine Cellar Mural

  

This Wine Cellar Mural was painted in a private residence in St. Charles, Illinois.

Wine casks, wine bottles, a 'half full' wine glass and a burning candle - with stairs leading to ??

Makes you think that the wine cellar owner is having a glass of his favorite Merlot and just 'ran upstairs' to get a little cheese and bread! 

 I faux finished whole wine cellar (including ceiling) and added 'broken out stones' and green moss - to give the cellar and authentic, warm, 'Old World' feel.

Positano, Italy - Wall Mural

Wake Up to a Mediterranian Ocean View Every Morning!

My clients, for this Ocean Terrace Mural, are Italian but don't like to travel. They would rather stay at home and wake up to a beautiful view every morning! On the 'raised terrace' I have painted a table and chairs with a wine bottle, glasses and coffee cup.

And, because they say every mural should have a surprise - I painted the client's favorite sandals next to steps.
