Bottle of red


I love painting wine bottles.  There is so much color in the glass that isn't obvious at first glance.  I decided that it was time I tried to paint fabric, so I added that to my set up.

It's chilly today.  I poured the glass of wine back into the bottle & corked it.  We may have that along with our dinner tonight!

  5. Lovely work. Like the bottle against the background color, nice contrast. Do you have an extra glass for me too?

  7. I find this beautiful painting. The shape of the glass is perfect, and that of the bottle, and it is not easy! I think you've demonstrated a mastery of line. I like the background color, it is dynamic. All this provides a unique atmosphere to your painting, which I appreciate very much!

  8. You did well with the fabric and folds, contrasting the shiny glass and bottle. It does look inviting.

  9. I love the softness of this one, Virginia, as well as all of those wonderful shades of amber in the glass bottle. Just great!
