Nectar of the Gods is a truly understated piece with a
sincere appreciation of classical painting evident in its subject, color
palette, composition and use of lighting. This original canvas painting prominently
features one of history's most cherished vestiges- a stash of sweet berry wine.
This is what is depict in the foreground of Nectar of the Gods, two upright
bottles of wine, in green glass bottles with labels carefully attached around
their necks. Lying beside these bottles of wine on the carefully painted wooden
floor (utilizing perspective very interestingly) are a wheel of cheese and a
rounded loaf of bread. Fading in to the dim interiors of the room, we can make
out amid the shadows a cluster of amethyst colored grapes, a carefully woven
straw basket (housing another bottle of wine), a wooden cask, and far back in
the reaches of the room, more and more barrels. We can only imagine that these
barrels are full of the same expertly aged wine! The dominant colors in which
these objects are depicted are golden browns, olive creams, and the softest of
yellows, with healthy doses of shadows created out of blendings of these colors
and black. The scene depicted here is one of great depth with very close attention
to detail. Each and every viewer is likely to appreciate these qualities, as
well as the rich overall impression left by Nectar of the Gods. Wine lovers, of
course, will also love this painting and its elevation of a few simple bottles
of wine to high art!
The design of Nectar of the Gods is fittingly simple. This
original piece of art is painted across a single large, but versatile, piece of
stretched canvas. Its size- roughly two feet in each direction- makes it both
eye catching and alluring, as well as easy to incorporate into rooms of all
sizes. In addition, the subject matter is appropriate for all decors, making it
extremely versatile. If you enjoy the subtle romance and classical energy of
this painting, you will, without a doubt find more original canvas pieces of

Canvas gallery. One painting in particular you may enjoy if you like the
carefully shading and interplay between light and dark in Nectar of the Gods is
