Muse Danielle Tastes Me On CARTA VIEJA Dry Malbec Red Chilean Malbec Then Poses For Me Late Dec 2010 : Thanks Danielle



I get some great photos when I photograph Danielle Davidowitz of the Dionysos Imports Selections portfolio out of Virginia. She always goes along with my " new : ideas for photos and we work well together as a team with some photos working better than others and yet with the total of all the photos really painting a portrait of her facial expressions and moods through my Reidel wine glass and sometimes through the wine bottles as well.

I hope that you enjoy these various " expressions " of Danielle's : I do. Cheers and Happy New Year to you all.

One of my New Year's resolutions id to continue taking more of these artsy photos that I like to take and getting better results that I can be proud of as I share them with you all. Take care, TONY

I may add more here as I go along and think of more to say as I always have additional thoughts that are born each and every time that I look at the pictures. It's inevitable : I just need more time to spend on these individual projects of mine.

In this set of Canon digital quick Power-Shot photos I think that what captivates me most are Danielle's lips : especially towards the end. I also love the fact that she is quite young and beautiful with striking dark, delineated features and she's holding the bottle and the word " Vieja - Old " is visible in many of them.
















This last part of the series of " quick " photos really blows me away : the lips, white teeth and smile all really come together beautifully and reflect so many quick changes of mood in such a short - fleeting period of time. Did you know you had so many shades of moods and feelings and expressions to share so quickly Danielle? I like it - hope that you do, too. Thanks again ...

The CARTA VIEJA dry red Chilean Malbec was really quite good and we will order some for Cleveland Park Wines & Spirits in Washington D.C. N.W. to sell really soon with the others that we already sell : Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.

Favorite People / Shots / Moments In The Cleveland Park Northwest Washington D.C. Neighborhood, @ The Wine Store, @ Lavandou , Of 2010 Sante!











It's magic! How do I keep the wine from spilling out all over the dining table at Lavandou?!? I must be clever, I must be special, I must have some magic tricks that I am not aware of but that surface like this when I am having an especially good time. Yeah, that must be it!

Cheers. It's now Wednesday night here at home in northern Virginia at 11:40PM on November 2nd, 2011. It's been a beautiful day. I should have played hooky and not gone to work and played more games and taken more pictures and done more art. That would have been grand. I still had a grand day. Loved it in many ways.

December 2010 My Own Home Artwork ( I Feel Blessed To Be Alive & Often Say So ) Of Holiday Season Oil Pastels & Ink Works


















It was the holiday season as we all know and I liked the idea of sending out personal messages with an original oil pastel and ink art piece, too.

I got two really positive responses from friends that I sent these to. That made me feel good. I was happy to do it and I meant every word and I enjoyed doing these quick oil pastel portrait sketches, too.

It makes me all feel thrilled and blessed to be alive and to have some people that it means a lot for me to be able to reach out to.

Cheers and enjoy these. Happy New Year 2011 to one and to all, TONY

I work quickly at what I do and try and capture/ ride the raw nerves and tensions and energies of the moment all around me including those of my own that are naturally amplified or changed by what is happening and I like to capture as much of that rush and surge and energetic movement as closely and exactly as I can without altering any of it later as to diminish any of it : let it all stand " as is " and we can all decide what we think or feel from it on our own levels. Cheers - this applies to my writing and photography as well as to my drawing and art work. TONY
