Folktale Winery was inspired by the idea that in every great bottle of wine, there is a story. It is filled with the uniqueness of place, a year of sun and rain, and the art and craft of winemaking. The story is about their people, their guests, and their passion. It is a love story, and the best love stories never end.

Like Folktale, I like to think that in every piece of art, there is a story. It is, of course, the story of the place, moment, fantasy, or feeling depicted. It is also the story of a lifetime of study, trial and error, evolution as a person, experiences collected, and hard work. This is why, when asked “How long did it take you?” the answer is elusive. I probably worked on this tiny 3x2” portrait of Folktale for 8 hours, on and off. But it also has 49.5 years of “me” inside. Is that a long time or a short time?

Created with gouache paint on 140 lb. Legion hot pressed Stonehenge Black watercolor paper, this painting measures 3×2" and comes in a signed mat and frame that brings the overall size of the piece to 4.75x3.75”. It ships free.
