Celebrating and Letting Go

My painting couldn't have found a better home. I love to paint, and I love good red wine!
Ron and Susan Bunnell (Bunnell Family Cellars) selected my water color collage, "Celebrate!" to grace the label of a special memorial wine bottle.
The limited edition wine was a collaborative effort in memory of Bill Huddleston who was well respected in all facets of the wine industry. Ron, Bill, and I were classmates at Kingsbury High School in Memphis some years ago back in the last century.
The wine and the original painting will be auctioned August 20th at the SRVS Fundraising Gala at the Memphis Hilton. Ron and I will be there celebrating, signing, and toasting old times and old friends (hopefully along with some other KHS alums). All proceeds from the sale will go to Shelby Residential and Vocational Services, a charity which was close to Bill's heart.
"Celebrate!" has much sentimental value to me since it marked the beginning of a new phase of my painting a few years back. I have never wanted to sell it, but now find it exhilarating to "let it go" in this way. I am thrilled because it seems to have been waiting for exactly this.
