Butterfly Wine

Fess Parker Winery - The Big Easy
Purple Watercolor
Ink

Painted with a freshly opened bottle of The Big Easy, a beautiful, bold red wine which was mostly used on the left wing and bright purple watercolor was mostly used on the right wing. There were subtle color differences between the two mediums after the paintings completion. As the painting continues to age and oxidize, the colors have shifted further apart creating a more dramatic difference between the two sides. (second image)

Each wine is different and oxidizes at a different pace. Each painting is photographed after the painting is complete to capture their true colors before they start changing. A painting will continue to change colors over time as it continues to oxidize, this makes it a living, breathing piece of art. 

A wide range of colors can be extracted from wine depending on the processing or painting methods used. Either straight from the bottle, fermented in a container or evaporated sludge from an open container, wine painting can be very complex or very simple.
