I am back after a very long bout with the flu.
I really missed doing my Wine Label Paintings
so this is the first of many more to come.
If you have a favorite artist that you would like
to have painted as a wine label please contact
me so we can design someting special just for you.
Wine Label Paintings also make great gifts
for the holidays.
Although this painting is designed after Mucha
I, of course, took liberty to do my own things and
added many more flowers and details to the dress.
Alphonse Maria Mucha listen (help·info) (24 July 1860 – 14 July 1939) was a Czech Art Nouveau painter and decorative artist, most well known for his images of women. He produced many paintings, illustrations, advertisements and designs.
By the time of his death, Mucha's style was considered outdated. However, his son, author Jiřà Mucha, devoted much of his life to writing about him and bringing attention to his art. Interest in Mucha's distinctive style experienced a strong revival in the 1960s (with a general interest in Art Nouveau) and is particularly evident in the psychedelic posters of Hapshash and the Colored Coat, the collective name for two British artists, Michael English and Nigel Waymouth, who designed posters for groups such as Pink Floyd and The Incredible String Band.
In his own country, the new authorities were not interested in Mucha. His Slav Epic was rolled and stored for twenty-five years before being shown in Moravsky Krumlov and only recently has a Mucha museum appeared in Prague, run by his grandson, John Mucha.
