Howards Folly Wine
Howard`s Folly, Sonhador 2011
In 2008 my work was nominated for the Sovereign Art Prize for Asia, there is also a Sovereign Art Prize for Europe and now for Africa. Out of 1100 entrants nominated, 30 finalists were selected and my painting "Dali Is Not So Crazy" was selected. Sothebys auctioned the paintings in Hong Kong and the money raised goes to a children's charity based in Asia. The international business man behind the art prize Howard Bilton makes wine in Portugal and the painting of a finalist each year is selected to be the label of a particular vintage. My painting was selected for this white wine "Sonhador 2011" Alvarinho which is sold in Europe - I believe you can also buy it in Australia but I am not sure where from. It is a lovely lunch time white wine, dry with a soft fruit finish.
