THOMAS ARVID — America's Preeminent Painter of Wine - Thomas Arvid has achieved spectacular success and national acclaim with his still-life compositions of wine and the rituals surrounding its consumption. The self-taught artist translates abstract composition and a talent for portraying light and color into sumptuous, super-realistic oil paintings of wine. Thomas Arvid unites the aesthetics of art and the sensual complexity of fine wine in his large-scale paintings that leave collectors and critics begging for more.
The Art Shop was delighted with the recent visit of Thomas Arvid to our gallery. We raised $2500.00 for the Children’s Flight of Hope. This is an organization that provides free flights for sick/injured children in need of medical transportation. Thomas Arvid is quickly earning himself a national reputation as a rising star with his remarkable, bold paintings of wine. At galleries from the Napa Valley to France, he is gaining recognition for his compositions - often sold "before the paint is dry". Thomas Arvid's natural charisma and infectious enthusiasm for art and wine guarantee his continued success and popularity. Thomas Arvid continued

“We hope to inform and keep you up-to-date on the latest in the art and custom-framing world and make you laugh occasionally in the process.”
That’s what I wrote at the end of our first blog on November 1, 2011. I realize now I left out something very important in that line.
