“The Fine Art of Wine”
There is true marriage between fine art and fine wine. Long Island’s own Richard Ritter, professional photographer from East Northport, has taken the Castello di Borghese wines and created exquisite painterly still life photographs with them. Rich, deep colors are complemented by dramatic lighting.
Each photograph has a handpainted brushstroke finish. Come and enjoy the wines that are featured in these true fine art photographs.
Check out Rich Ritter's website at www.richardritterphotography.com for more of the Borghese art collection.
Rich's work was accepted by the The Hampton Bays Chamber of Commerce which hosted its 21st Hampton Bays Art Festival, an outdoor art show on the front lawn of JP Morgan Chase bank. The relatively small event featured both local artists and some from as far away as Sicily and is incredibly popular with collectors, as many of the artists participating have been bringing their work here for several years. The exhibition featured a great cross-section of many different mediums including oils, acrylics, watercolors, prints, sculptures, photographs, and mixed media and the pieces include both large and small works in every price range.
