The Wine Project. And the Winery is....

It was at this time, last year, that I was at a Holiday Party  at a local winery. At the beginning of the evening I'd had a brief conversation with the manager about a piece of art there, that I was in love with. She explained that it was made by a local area artist. I explained that I paint and that I was very drawn to the piece because it held a lot of the same colors and tones that I gravitate to. She said she'd love to see something of mine, so I gave her my card, which contains a picture of  "Serendipity". A few hours later, as I was leaving, she waved me over to the bar., and as I approached she was setting out and arranging little pieces of paper. They were printouts of my works from my website! And that's when it all started. She began to explain that the winery selects a local area artist each year, and displays their artwork on select wine bottle labels, in a four bottle series (2 Spring, 2 Fall). As it was obviously late in the year, and the 2014 Artist had been chosen and in place for some time, they asked if I would be the Artist for 2015.  The four paintings were decided upon by the winery a few months ago and the labels are in production as we speak. Although we've all had to be hush-hush about the details, including which of my works that they have chosen, I am now at least able to announce the name of the winery and a little information. And the winery is... Goose Ridge Estate Vineyard & Winery! They are shooting for the end of February-beginning of March (Wow... that would be a great birthday present!) for the launch and reveal at the Wine Club Release. I will definitely keep you posted. Hurry up 2015!
As for 2014...
May I wish you, and yours, only best of Holidays and the happiest of New Years.
Your support means so very much. Thank you.

Kim xoxo
