Another still life, titled "Sangria", oil on canvas panel dated 1975. This may have been done from a photo, the wall was certainly invented. Our basement in 1975 was pretty together as was much of the house, there were no walls in disrepair. The basement at this time was host to revolving birthday parties, pool games and playing. Although I prefer the more vibrant "Wine Bottle and Grapes" from two years earlier it is interesting to compare the two to see how her ability painting perspective has improved and she is more sure of herself, especially evident in the depiction of the bottles in each painting.

comparison of earlier Wine Bottle and Grapes 1973 and Sangria 1975.
Mom's technique and style has matured. It is looser and she has gotten more confident.
detail of signature.
Completely embracing her married name for now.

Nicely labeled ( thanks mom! ) I wonder if this was submitted to art shows and that is why it is well labeled.
