Last year, I started what I hoped would become a tradition of commemorating special meals/wines in watercolor paintings (my pandemic hobby). I described the idea further in my post from last year: Commemorating Meals and Wines in 2021. It looks like the photos from that original post have gotten distorted unfortunately.
Here are some of the pages from my 2022 edition. I haven’t bound it into a book yet, so these are just loose pages. I think they photograph better before being put into a book anyway.
Thanks to everyone here for all the knowledge and inspiration! Looking forward to spending 2023 with you all!
Ha! Between the Haut Brion and Le Pergole Torte (not to mention the Laherte Freres) 12/24 and 12/25 were the most baller back-to-back wine days I’ve had.
Noah I am blown away by the artistry and the creativity. And these are so intimate, so personal. Thank you so much for sharing. I have to admit if I have any envy in me at all, and I really have almost none, it is exactly this: freehand artistry. The percentage of our society that has true, artistic talent like that this is exceedingly low. I went to a fine architectural college, and while I thought I was talented, I did not have this type of freehand artistic ability. I think in my class of 120 people, maybe five had this type of talent. The ability to just create art from scratch, free style. I absolutely love it. Please keep sharing.
Thanks! I like the chickens too. And I thought the cardinal came out very nicely, though I got a bit overly enthusiastic with the splatters at the end there. The accompanying menu looks like it’s covered in blood spatters! Is this a menu page or evidence from a murder scene?
