Blue Hopper Which Hopper energy are you feeling today? In the city, his silence feels like alienation. At sea, it feels like sanctuary. Hopper is the master of American loneliness. But we often forget he painted the sea just as much as he painted empty cities. The sea shows a different kind of solitude. No claustrophobic apartments or artificial lights. Just the clean sun and the open water. Urban loneliness is a prison. Maritime loneliness is freedom. How do you feel today? Masterpieces: The Long Leg (1930), Pemaquid Light (1929), Ground Swell (1939), and The Lee Shore (1941).

Sadly these old vines - proudly dubbed “certified heritage” by the OVP have no legal “heritage” standing or protection. All we have is a marketing opportunity. Zero legal standing or protection.

Shocked to hear David Hockney has died. His huge achievement was to make serious painting look effortless. He carried forward one of the most sustained investigations into vision, space and representation by any post-war artist. British art has lost a giant.

Why pay a premium for Champagne Demi-Sec when the benchmark sits on our doorstep? Krone’s Night Nectar duo (Blanc de Blancs & Blanc de Noirs) are solid 94pt Cap Classiques. Easily rivaling Moët Nectar or Veuve Rich, but 30% less. Sophisticated, world-class & lekker. Buy South African. 🇿🇦🍾 #CapClassique #FIFAWorldCup
