Neck n' Neck - Wine Label

Tessa Guze, Neck n Neck, Wine Label 2011 

This is a painting I did for a wine label exhibition organized by the (no name) Art Group, at B Square Gallery. The (no name) art group asked 50 artists each to create wine labels. Wine bottles here sold at the opening with the buyers choice of wine label. The proceeds went to raise money for Philabundance, a charity that fights hunger in the Philadelphia area. The artists had the choice to sell there paintings for personal profit or to donate the proceeds to Philabundance, I chose to do the latter and I am very excited that my piece sold!

Welcome


Thank you for visiting my blog!

As a people and animal portrait painter I believe that a successful portrait is not just a copy of what the subject looks like, but it is also a lasting reflection of the subject's character and personality (whether human or animal). For the artist, this requires getting to know the subject in a very profound way. I love getting to know new people and animals and finding ways to make my paintings reflect their personality and presence.

If you are interested in commissioning a portrait of one of your horses please contact me at tessaguze@gmail.com. Additionally some of the paintings featured in this blog will be for sale, to inquire about them please email me.

I also do portraits of people or portraits of people and animals, so if you would like a portrait of your self and your horse please contact me.
