The Art Cellar 20th Birthday Cake
Earlier in the week, I posted an unusual grouping of Chinese porcelain and Layer Cake wine...and in the background, Raggedy Ann looked on with a puzzled expression. Well, here is the finished watercolor, "Birthday Cake."
Michael and Pam McKay, the owners of The Art Cellar are celebrating 20 years in business...pretty incredible when you think about what has gone on in our economy during that time. Liz Brown, the galley director, and Pam "commissioned" their artists to "create a cake" for the birthday. I just couldn't see myself painting a real cake, although I can whip up a pretty darn good pizza pie.
So, I took one of my favorite wines, Layer Cake, one of my favorite painters, Winslow Homer--Artist and Angler, and arranged for them to meet some characters from China, a nice box and some pears and pomegranates in a nice pottery bowl. I changed all of the "vintage" dates to 1992 on the bottles (20 years ago) and voila!
I hope you enjoy...I hope Pam and Liz and Michael enjoy...as for me, I've got a date with Raggedy Ann and a couple of bottles of Layer Cake!
