Lot #S01-S02: A selection of oil paintings by Houston artist John Boom

Mixing his training as an engineer, interest in art, an innate ability to draw and a vast storage of

memories from his years of international travel, John embarked on a second profession when he

enrolled at The Glassell School of Arts over a decade ago.

Favorite subjects include portraits of some of the more interesting characters that he has met

through the years, the charm of old European towns and villages or extracting/synthesizing

interesting slices out of landscapes.

“When I search for painting subjects, I generally look for a story to tell. In portraits, I like to paint

people whose features could tell a life story. In urban settings, I try to compose a scene from

sketches and photographs and give the sense that there is a story behind the painting.

I always try to leave an element of mystery, allowing the viewer’s imagination to fill in the blanks.

I am fascinated by the play of light and it’s interaction with my painting subjects.”

John may be reached in his studio at 713-254-5037.

bright and intense violet color. The aroma expresses red fruit and plums,

balanced with the spicy notes of the oak. On the palate, there is a balance of

red and dark fruits with a hint of black pepper, proving to be a wine of great

character and remarkable structure.

Reserva Tempranillo

Our Reserva Tempranillo won a Silver Medal in the New World Tempranillo

and Blends ($30 - $100) class

Deep ruby red in color, this Tempranillo shows an intense bouquet of dark

fruits with spicy hints of thyme and black pepper. Its mouthfeel is balanced

with soft tannins and a good acidity.

Sauvignon Blanc – Torrontés

Our Sauvignon Blanc -Torrontés won a Silver Medal in the Sauvignon Blanc

and SB-Dominant Blends($19-$30) class

The citrus nose of the Sauvignon Blanc compliments the perfumed floral

notes of the Torrontés. The Vibrant flavor combinations of stone fruit and

Lot #S11: Glass Art by Katherine Stewart

From the artist: After selling residential real estate in Houston, Texas for 35+ years, I knew that I

wanted to do something creative. After taking a few courses in “hot glass,” I knew what I wanted to do

in my "next" career.

Working with hot glass, or glass fused in a kiln, became my passion.

The beauty which surrounds us, especially the colors in nature, motivates me to create.

The joy of working with hot glass, mixing colors of glass that are transparent or opalescent with design

elements and then watching what happens when the glass is heated to 1500 degrees or more, is

magical and exciting. My pieces are meant to be both decorative as well as useful.
