Pardon Me

“Here, the viewer can sit and watch the sun set below the distant mountains.” – Eric Christensen

The Marcus Ashley Fine Art Gallery curates an extensive assemblage of Eric Christensen art. These captivating hyper-realistic watercolor paintings have won the hearts and adorned the walls of wine art collectors worldwide. They are known to effuse elegance in grand estates, five-star hotels, high-end resorts, and fine dining restaurants.

Standing on a silver pedestal is The Prisoner. Not a convicted felon, rather, a delectable drink. “Behind him grows a giant oak, twisted and gnarled, framed by the wide-open hills that lay vast – as far as the eye can see. In his shackled, confined state, he is left to ponder his deeds, while his reflections appear in the wine glass on the table. His chains can barely restrain the decadence of this chewy and savory red. The Prisoner pleads ‘Release Me!’ We oblige by uncorking this guilty pleasure – ‘Pardon Me!’” So goes the story of Pardon Me, Christensen’s dazzling interpretation of the Napa Valley wine country and its bounty.
