Wine: afterward. [Fine settimana di vino]

Friends, family and those I just met, much thanks to everyone who came out last weekend and enjoyed the wine festival! (Especially if you stopped by the booth, talked about art, or even made a purchase.) My vote for the event went to Mark Cascia Vineyards, by the way. Located Thompson Creek area of Kent Island.

This little deer made only from gun powder is still in fact for sale!

Poster situation, going very well.

And a drunk lady even bought my display at the end of Sunday evening! I made her night(?)

Check out my sign made from this painting of Columbus storming the native shores.

And a great new MilkHouse clipboard. I mean new mailing list. Feel free to keep joining. When I decide to start sending things hopefully you won't be disappointed!

Wine Fest

So PS- the dessert and wine painting actually made its way to the winning poster design for the 2012 Chesapeake Bay Wine Festival May 5 + 6. Held at the Bay Bridge Marina in Stevensville (Kent Island).  See below post (April 17) for another (modified) version!

Leftovers part 1: Valentines (Paper 12)

Only because I actually do enjoy the celebration of St.Valentine's Day, thanks to all of the colors in the middle of dreary Winter.

 Cara Cara oranges are in season. So are heart ice cubes.
