Experience the beauty of wine country with A Cake Walk, a breathtaking diptych by Eric Christensen. This two-panel artwork, together, forms a single captivating scene that celebrates the elegance of fine wine and the abundant fruits of the land. Set in the idyllic wine country, the artwork features wines from Napa Valley's Cakebread Cellars paired with ripe, luscious fruits, artisan breadsticks, and cheeses, creating a feast for the senses. In true Christensen style, each detail—from the reflections in the wine glasses to the texture of the fruits and landscape—comes alive with photorealistic precision. The vineyard setting in the background, along with the rich, vibrant tones, captures the warmth and richness of the wine country lifestyle. "A Cake Walk" featuring the wine of Cakebread Cellars: a 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon - Benchland Select from the Napa Valley, and a 2009 Chardonnay Reserve from the Carneros Napa Valley. "Inspired by a recent trip to France where Versailles, Le Louvre, fine wine and food all compete for center stage, Eric Christensen has created a masterpiece that reflects his travel experiences. Too many delights to fit into a single painting, this new creation is a diptych of unequalled beauty. Imagine yourself strolling along the secluded pathway - from the beautiful Chateau in the distance past the hillside cloaked in lavender. As you amble toward the quiet country road, you notice the vineyards in their bright green summer garb. When you arrive at your destination, you discover a table laden with Summer’s abundance – fuzzy peaches, glistening nectarines, cherries ready to pick off the branch with a fresh baguette and bright orange pride of France - Mimolette cheese. The table presents some of the regional favorites of Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay to sip as you watch the sun set below the distant mountains. It’s easy to see why this lovely journey is simply “A Cake Walk”!" - Eric Christensen Fine Art It is a piece of cake or A Cake Walk when the only decision you need to make today is whether to pour the Cakebread Chardonnay or the Cabernet...and if you can't decide, then why not pour both?
