Happy Holidays from Of Art and Wine!

Of Art and Wine normally posts on the 25th of each month, but this year it is time for a little down time. I do want to thank all of those of you who read the posts that go up on the 10th and the 25th of each month. I enjoy reading your comments and responding to as many as I can. I am looking forward to a great 2022, full of interesting art subjects to present to you and delicious wines to explore, but today, I am enjoying Christmas.

With that I will leave you with a Christmas wish for peace, joy, love, and comfort, all nicely represented in this beautiful painting by Colorado Springs artist, Lee Murphy. It depicts one of the lovely old mansions in a historic part of the city. In the quiet of a deep snowfall on a winter’s night, this house has a warm inner light that says, home. Merry Christmas!
