Eric's Most recent Original Watercolor and Newest Release:

"Another Round"

    
 
What makes golf a gentleman’s game? Hard work and a refined character lead to a higher level of distinction. The summer sun, the smell of earth and grass, and perpetual gratitude for straight shots add up to make the finish particularly smooth. Even though the hazards were artfully averted, you yearn for the nearest point of relief and find it at the clubhouse -- in a cut crystal glass of amber beauty. As you sit back and relish in your foursome’s performance, you wonder: Is there enough time for “Another Round”?

This elegant piece is now available in limited editions. Each giclée is personally signed and numbered by Eric Christensen and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.

Eric Christensen gets a VIP tour of Grgich Hills Estate in the Carneros wine appellation:
 
On a cool day in mid March Eric was given a VIP tour of Grgich Hills Estate vineyards with Pam Harter and Paul Terradista. Grigich Hills Estate vineyards implements a new approach to wine making called Biodynamic Farming in which the vineyard becomes self sustainable. They do not use chemicals, pesticides, or fungicides. They use old world methods such as cover crops and homeopathic remedies. Like the vineyard, the wine is in balance. The resulting wine has complex flavors and a rich character.
