Description
Wine Glasses – four turns of red
Painting on canvas parades four glasses in an even row and catches a different moment of the swirl in each of them: wall art built out of one gesture photographed four times.
Technique and texture
The glass is painted with a narrow brush in sharp white and grey reflections that give it its transparency. The wine went on in fast sweeps, so the red passes into orange and a white foam in places. The ground is smooth and dark with no visible stroke, which is what lets the objects stand out in front of it.
The motif
Each glass shows a different phase of the same movement, from the first splash to a settled turn. The bases line up straight while the bowls are filled to different levels, which takes the stiffness out of the row. Wine is still arriving from above the frame, caught mid-fall. Light comes from behind and shines through the wine, and the ground thickens toward the middle into a warm amber.
Setting and placement
A dark ground with a warm middle does its best work where people eat and drink. Over a dining table, or beside a wine cabinet, the subject and the room agree with each other.

Dining room sizes
Wine Glasses is painted in 17 landscape sizes, from 60 x 40 to 260 x 175 cm. Four glasses in a row are at home above a dining table: over a 180 cm table the two-thirds rule gives 120 x 80 cm, over a 240 cm table 160 x 108 cm, over a 200 cm sofa 130 x 88 or 140 x 95 cm, and beside a wine cabinet or in a kitchen corner 80 x 54 or 90 x 60 cm. Choose YES in the Stretcher menu and the dark canvas with its amber middle arrives on a wooden stretcher, ready to hang. A frame for Wine Glasses is an extra in the Frame menu, which starts at Without frame. Delivery takes 15–45 days.
The painting is hand-painted, a narrow brush pulling the white and grey glints on the glass and fast sweeps laying down the red wine, so the four glasses are not a print.
