water into wine
watercolor
"Capturing the beauty of the conversion of the water into wine, the poet Alexander Pope said, "The conscious water saw its Master and blushed.""
They are, though my whole family insists that they are blueberries:-) in which case we're talking about blueberry wine! I take no offense to that...never had any, but willing to try!:-)
A very known, to these days, ancient Greek saying: «Οίνος ευφραίνει καρδίαν», which means, wine rejoices the heart. We really believe in the ‘magic’ of wine. Absolutely wonderful painting Minnemie!!! Warm regards.
