August 2015

In August we are celebrating the Art of Painting. The Brandywine Valley had a long history of famous painters,  from the Quaker images of Edward Hicks to the Wyeth Family of artists, Howard Pyle, and the beautiful landscape artists that have captured the essence of the Chester County environment over the past two hundred years. This is an area that inspires art and this month, every listed winery will highlight a different contemporary painter in their tasting room..Come for the wine and enjoy the art! Click the images below to link to the artists' websites.

At Penns Woods Winery in Chadds Ford, the brightly colored paintings of contemporary artist Sarah Russell will be exhibited throughout the month of August. For more information on this artist's work, please visit her website by clicking the artist's image. 

Every Thursday different pop up artists will be exhibiting their work from 4-8 in the tasting room including Carle Pastore August 6, Susan Bankert August 20th and the wonderful Diane Cannon August 27th! At Galer Estate Winery in Kennett Square, one of the owners is an artist who exhibits widely in the Chester County area. Mrs Galer will be showing her recent contemporary treescapes throughout the month of August. Click the image for Mrs. Galer's painting website.
