I won’t lie, I chose about six different entries as my favourite before finally deciding on which to vote for. There are any number of these pieces of art that I would love to see on my walls. From vibrant, quirky, and fun, to sentimental and vintage, the entries for the Mutt Lynch Winery label competition are completely amazing. As someone who struggles to draw anything more than a stick figure or two, I cannot understand how people can take the colours, lines, and shading they see when they look around them and translate it into art this way. I think if I could do it, my life and my house would be so much more colourful. Being a writer means most of my life is white with black text, unless I’m feeling creative. Unfortunately, most people don’t want to read anything with pink or purple font.

Until the day when rainbow fonts are applauded the way gorgeous and colourful artwork is, I shall satisfy my need for colour in my life with art like the samples presented here. I don’t like wine, but it would be a privilege to drink anything in a bottle with any of these labels on it.

I won’t tell you which I voted for, but you should check out all the entries! Also, 10% of proceeds featuring the winning label will go to the San Francisco SPCA!
