Port, Pom, Persimmon

8"x8" | oil on archival panel

I love the way this one came together. If you are a Port lover, the port bottle in this painting, has a handstamped label! And I feel like I captured it, on this painting. It's a lovely bottle (in real life) so green, and the hand stamping is so interesting.

This painting is larger than my normal "daily painting" size - it is 8"x8" unframed.

Note to all - Feedburner/Google has been sending out a weird version of my blog posts, randomly. I am trying to get it to stop, I don't know what is causing it, but I'm trying to get it fixed. It may take a while, so please, just delete the weird extra email it sends out, until I can get this fixed. I may have to change email services to something like Mad Mimi or something else… Mad Mimi has good customer service, so at least I would be able to get email problems fixed, plus they have some nice templates. Thank you for your patience!
