Lobster a la Carte

Lobster a la Carte

Dana Volk Wines - Aged Pinot Noir
Black Ink

 
This painting came to me as a dream, before a reality. A blue lobster, to be specific. After a late night transcendent sketching session this lobster drawing came to be. Then using aged Pinot Noir from Dana Volk Wines the red wine turned blue overnight, by surprise, due to it's oxidation phase. This painting was scanned a few days after completion and you can see the colors already shifted to more of a gray color. 

This original painting found it's forever home in Santa Barbara. 

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.
