Fine wine is an agricultural product with characteristics that make it especially sensitive to a changing climate. The quality and quantity of wine, and thus prices and revenues, are extremely sensitive to the weather where the grapes were grown. Depending on weather conditions, the prices for wines produced by the same winemaker from fruit grown on the same plot of land can vary by a factor of 20 or more from year to year.

The relationship between wine and the vineyard earth has long been held as very special, especially in Europe. Tradition has it that back in the Middle Ages the Burgundian monks tasted the soils in order to gauge which ones would give the best tasting wine, and over the centuries this kind of thinking was to become entrenched. The vines were manifestly taking up water from the soil.

This is a painting that was commissioned by a friend when she was trying to sell her house just before the real estate market took a dive. She's a firm believer in Feng Shui, and I'm here to tell you it seems to work magic for her.
I finished this painting about fifteen minutes before the open house was to start. We hung it where her Feng Shui master told her too, and I'll be darned if she didn't get a full price offer on the house that day!
Cranes stand for prosperity in Chinese beliefs, and in Feng Shui they have to be divisible by nine. (I had to quickly add 2 more cranes!)
Happy Animal Wednesday, my friends! Here's to prosperity for us all!
Super beautiful!

Feng Shui and family harmony starts with how these rooms are decorated and making excellent use of color and the elements to harmonize these spaces for the best effect and positive flow of chi.
Oh GREAT!!!! That it worked also!
The painting is just gorgeous. I would buy the house in which it was in in a instant........ if the painting was to stay.

Let me think for a moment - (½ - 6 = 12² ± 180° X 17) ... never mind!
How's it going, girl? How do I get in on the Animal Wednesday?
Beeeyoootiful! I don't know much about feng shui, but I can see there is a whole lot of harmonizing chi going on in that painting. Happy, once again belated, Animal Wednesday!
What a great painting, and a great story!!! COOL!
That is a gorgeous painting! What a wonderful friend you are to have done this. So...did you get a commission? :)
I adore the perspective of this painting. And the cranes make it all come alive! Thanks for sharing the Feng Shui tidbit.
Have a splendid weekend!
I love this! We were at a house in the vineyard that had not-good energy flow...and I kept thinking that a good painting was needed. You hit the nail right on the head!
This is just beautiful - what a wonderful, talented artist you are!
this is fascinating; both the image and the story behind it. I really need to read up on this further.
