Simply Wine! 12x24 acrylic ©Sandi Whetzel

Simply Wine!12x24 acrylic on gallery wrap canvas. Simple elegance, simply wine! And if there was any doubt, the cursive written "wine" design on the abstracted wine bottle literally spells it out. The inspiration was the placement of two dining forks facing together so that their combined shape resembles a wine goblet, with hints of the fork tines serving as highlights . First I sketched the design and decided that omitting the top rims of the goblets and letting the goblet stems and wine bottle bottom fade into the background added to the simplicity of the design. I chose the rainbow of colors ranging from red, orange, yellow orange and yellow to pop against the black background. It's a simple, elegant design that took more thought than you might realize to create a contemporary abstract painting.
