UPPER LAKE — Lake County Wine Studio (LCWS) is hosting an encore wine tasting event featuring the new 2007 wine releases from Snows Lake Vineyard with Bonnie Sears, and artist reception with paintings by Judy Cardinale.
The reception will take place from 2 to 4 p.m. Saturday at 9505 Main St. in Upper Lake.
Musical entertainment during the reception will be Jim Waters on keyboard.
Judy Cardinale has studied art for the past 35 years. Prior to becoming a Lake County resident, she rendered wildlife and animal portraits in pastel.
Since moving to the county in the early 1990s, Cardinale began to explore the medium of oil. Her introduction to this medium was with Wayne Coats at Yuba College. There she added another love to her already existing love of animal portraits ? that of seascapes.
Many of her seascapes and animal portraits grace the walls of homes in private collections throughout the United States.
With the use of watercolor medium, Cardinale has added a new dimension to her collection, to which she comments, “There is a quite a difference between the various mediums. The approach to a successful watercolor is basically the same as any other medium, however, the medium itself always has a surprise in store for the artist with each new study.”
The Cardinale art show will be on display during August. For more information call Lake County Wine Studio at 275-8030.
