Cabernet

This is my Gothic Arches entry for the theme "Autumn". I love Autumn, and where I live in the wine country in California- nothing says it more beautifully than the grapevines in their full glory. The colors are fantastic just as the "crush" begins to happen in late September . I made this Gothic Arch with some of the colors and elements that symbolize this time. I wanted it to have the look of a wine bottle label which I love to collect!

    Looks a bit like Dionysus in all his glory! :) Gorgeous arch - it's such a joy to visit your blog, Lori. Also - thanks for the tarot book title/author. I have it in my Amazon basket. NEXT week I'm ordering it! :)

    Hi Lori,

    Thanks for your sweet comment on my blog:)
    I really love this piece of art! I can fully understand what you say about the grapes. I visited your part of CA September last year:)

    This is delicious! I often buy wines because I am attracted to their labels - I would be reaching for this one for sure. Cheers!

    Your lovely wine arch makes me think Fall is not so bad ;) Wonderful rich colors Lori!!!

    I am a sucker for wine labels too, wish they didn't use super glue to put them on the bottles now!
