A note about my relationship to Buttonwood Farm:
Over the decades the Buttonwood property has provided an abundance of interesting shapes and subjects from which to glean images with the brush and sumi. I am very grateful to have been able to contribute to this wonderful adventure of growing grapes, making fine wine and offering it to people who appreciate it!
From the very beginning, I have been able to integrate my paintings in the design of the labels. The original brushwork, which was our logo for 25 years, was chosen from a series of sumi sketches, recognizable and abstract, from looking at grape clusters, vines and leaves. Currently we use different paintings for the labels of each different variety.
