I like his wine cup. I’ll have one!

This one’s unusual! Is this mural on the back side of a Greek restaurant?
Hello Liz!
No, the mural is on a house. This is its garage.
Maybe the owners are wine aficionados? Red wine is the only alcohol I drink.
Everything else smells like cleaning fluids, or fuels.
Interesting! I’ve seen very few murals on houses. From the size of the cup, I’d say it’s a safe bet that the owners of the house are wine aficionados!
Good question. I agree about the cup. That is a fantastic mural. The door frame and the vapor rising off the cup makes it like he’s lounging in a fireplace. A very surreal aspect to the whole piece.
Oh yeah, I see the fireplace effect, now. Interesting.
It is an odd piece. I held back a year, as I kept finding more exciting art. Yet, as often happens, I find I like a piece way more than I originally thought.
I think it’s Dionysus very disappointed with his ball of hot soup! 🤣😂🤣😂
I wonder if that tree with the arrow is part of the composition. I agree with Tim about it being quite surreal. Great find!
xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
HOT GREEK SOUP!
Well, okay if it’s wine soup! 🤣🤣
The tree with the arrow is part of the composition. It is all on the same garage.
Funny how it takes others to point out a feature of a piece of art to me.
I always saw the arrow. I always saw the tree.
I never saw the arrow going through the tree.
What the heck does that mean?
xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
I wonder too… especially in combination with ‘Dionysus’!
Wine soup souns fine to me!!! 🍷🤣🍷
…which brings us to a Wine post!!! 😉
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I forgot to add a ‘spoiled’ Dionysus because he looks like a spoiled brat! 😉
Artwork supentous, the bright blue DWP735 magnificent,yound Resa. I want a DWP735 as my classical bin. Regards, TRN akin to the TOF.,
So….TRN? The Regent Nut? + TOF.. Foolish Regent Nuts??…
Am I on the right track?
Although, I must admit; that is one sexy “Bin ID” !
Most odd, I have no recollection of exactly what TRN means. I’m worried now. I shall have to think. Perhaps I’m going a tad doolally. Regards, TOF who is possibly a TRN
TRN – The Registered Nurse! You just got your nursing papers!
Not a tad doolally. That would make you a TOFATD.
I think the ‘R’ is to do with Rosie the new puppy who has scoffed our entire house carpets including along with 5 pairs of Shirls knickers…one pair a day…and three pairs of my (old person’s) slippers…indeed the gal in the shoe shop claims that Rosie is now her best customer. Perhaps the ‘N’ means ‘nutter’. I watched her scoff 3 snails early today and felt a tad sick. The things is I love the little gal, Rosie the rascal. She has the gift of finding this old fool’s heart.
Resa, you captured another quirky and impressive work of art!
These works never cease to amaze me.
A garage door is a canvas. Love it!
Thanks Dave!
Resa, is it Sambuca that is lit on fire for shots? That cup reminds me of a burning shot. Keith
Maybe it is! Only the artist knows for sure. I’ve never had that, so my opinion is not very valid.
I’m quite squeamish around alcohol. Other than red wine (I am a Red Wino) … it smells awful.
Hope all is well!
Resa, this is one drink you try only once. As an alcoholic, I don’t imbibe anymore, being sans alcohol for fourteen years now. I tell people I drank enough before i quit to last a lifetime. At least red wine has some medicinal qualities. Keith
True, and I just eat with it & fall asleep.
Well, Sorceress,
I’m thinking this is mulled wine if there is steam or vapours going from the bowl up. That, or he was given a bowl of stew expecting wine and that’s why he’s slumped over in disappointment!
And to the right of him, it looks more like barbed wire – which didn’t exist in his time but hey. A twist of thorns?
Now… how to explain the arrow piercing the tree? 😀
Ahhhhhhhh,
Thunder!
I’m mulling over the mulled wine.
Jeez, I thought he was slumped over from massive wine consumption.
However, if one wanted wine, and got stew…. BIG BUMMER!
A twist of thorns.. yes..yes..
Someone brought Cupid into this. His arrow went astray, as he was …. with wine.
I must say, whatever this means, I am impressed with the thoughts this piece of art has invoked.
Now, I am not sure why I hoarded this for a year.
I need to get out and find more art! xo
Isn’t it great when something you share creates such a fabulous discussion?
I loved reading all the different interpretations, too!
And, uhhh. yeah… what up with that? No more hoarding!
Eek!
..I hoard art.
Okay.. will try to release all hoarded art…. even that odd emojis mural.
OMG… Sorry, there’s an AGM post coming up next. I’ll get back to you! ⚡️💥
Nah. You’re smart for those days you don’t have something but feel like sharing.
Oh! Can’t wait 🧚♀️✨🌟
xoxo
🙂
By the way… the Universe heard our call and put Groovy out there 😉
I saw. We wield a lot of power! Thundering and sorceressing.
Woot! We do! 😉
Well that’s certainly different! If he’s been drinking from a cup that large, it’s no wonder he’s slumping in his chair and spilling what’s left, although it looks more like fire to me. Maybe it’s a gigantic jello shot that melted while he was in a stupor. I never really got the idea of jello shots. Why not take a shot if you want one? Never really saw the point of shots either as I prefer to enjoy my alcohol, not just get plastered. Hmmm, now if this mural were on a house, it could be plastered. OK, I’m done. 🙂 And no, I’ve not been drinking!
LOL! This art IS on a house. It’s on its garage. Perhaps those inside are plastered? 😀
Jello shot? What the heck is that? Wine in Jello?
I don’t eat Jello. It is an animal product, and as a veggie…..Jello is out.
Yes, if I wanted a shot, I’d just throw one back. Of course I would vomit after that, as I can’t take any hard liquor.
I adore this comment…. you nut, you!
But garage doors aren’t plastered, only house walls, you silly thing! 🙂
LOL!!!! I’ll see you tomorrow! You lovable nut!
😁🥰
Cupid’s arrow missed its mark, he got drunk in disappointment, and now he’s hungover and trying to drink a cure for that–or some kind of potion. 😀
In any case, it’s cool find! Thank you, Resa.
Sounds like a good synopsis of a wine god’s friend’s life!
I always knew Cupid is a wino. Probably why he missed his mark in the first place!
It is a fun find.
😀 🍷
🤣 🍷
🤣 🍷 x
That’s a large glass. And I love the arrow flying over the bins. Epically different and epic because of it.
Yes…. I want that glass! Lol… the bins… as if they were a part of the message. Hmm, it seems they have inserted themselves into the message! xoxo
I like the contrast between the style antic greek mural and the modern bins, Resa! 🙂
Love ❤
Michel
LOL… others have commented on the bins. I suppose in art’s own performance way, the bins count! xo ❤
I could stick to one a day with one of those cups! I love this, thanks for sharing!
One a day… yes, but then!!!! Lol!
I think it’s called a cup of the steaming stuff. Thanks for sharing, Resa.
Lol! From the fastest blogger on the block, not!
I just limp through the comments…. but I answer them all!
You are such a trooper. 😁
I need to get some kind of survival kit!
I could send a 50 gal drum of white wine. it may not help with survival but your really won’t care.
LOL!
😁
Those don’t look like grapevines growing around him so I don’t know. I just went to the Last Supper in Pompeii exhibit and immediately told of a bowl of burning lava!
Sounds like an interesting exhibit! Although it’s not a soup I would consider a for meal. 😀
Nice one, Resa. He looks like he needed that chair. I posted the murals from out Paint Party last weekend. Trashcans, cars, trucks… so hard to photograph around! So I can now relate to the photographer’s challenges. Thanks for your inspiration.
Yay! I love the post! Thank you for the shout out.
I’m always thrilled when I manage to spread the street art bug, to anyone.
Thank you for being so cool, Diana!
My pleasure. I love street art. It’s so creative and diverse. Each piece feels like a celebration. 🙂
Yes! They are all celebrations! I like that! 😀
Your post reminded me of all those Steve Reeve movies in the 1960’s. Hercules, Hercules Unchained etc. I always thought that Dionysus/Bacchus has the most fun.
Oh! I have some sort of memory, but had to look him up. The memory is clearer, but still fuzzy.
He sure had the body of a god….. sort of a pre-Schwarzenegger career – body building to acting.
Lol! Dionysus/Bacchus would have the most fun. They had the wine!! {{{hugs}}}
My favouite Steve Reeves movie was the 1961 “Thief of Baghdad” where he goes to find a blue rose. When he finds the rose, it is destroyed. And then the miracle happens in a few seconds. Not certain if you can access this video: https://youtu.be/GayahQ6MzGU
Lol! That sounds like a movie I would love as a kid. Maybe I saw it? Let me check the link!
That was fab!!!!!! Yes, it’s a blue rose!
Do you remember Blue Roses from “The Glass Menagerie”?
Oh yes!! Thank you for the reminder!!
“When I had that attack of pleurosis – he asked me what was the matter when I came back. I said pleurosis – he thought that I said Blue Roses! So that’s what he always called me after that. Whenever he saw me, he’d holler, “Hello, Blue Roses!”
Tennessee Williams, The Glass Menagerie
LOVE IT!
Thank you!
Ah, another topic I could chime in on Dave’s blog…Tennessee Williams. I’m up to snuff on that stuff!
It’s all greek to me, but I’m thinking he’s some minor fire god, who needs a good long nap. 🙂 I think the colors are excellent and it’s a truly fun find.
Lol! He does appear to be a nap needing garage door god.
Definitely a fun find! 😀 X
Only two empty wine bottles and yet he seems to have fallen asleep – maybe the wine has been “un-godly” strong.? Excellent captured, dear Resa. 😀
Dear LDN…thank you re: the capture!
Untgodly wine sounds like nectar from the goddesses!
Could be just what I need! 😀 xx
Seems like someone is too much tired. Fun read.
It is a fun mural! Thank you!
So that’s what they mean by his cup runneth over.
I’ll have one, por favor.
Agree! I want a cup!
Salud!
Guzzle!
Haha!
Maybe I should get a wine cup, too. Until now I used glasses. 😉 But maybe wine tastes better when served in a cup. 😉
Have a fine day, and stay safe, dear Resa! ❤
Wine tastes good in a glass or a cup! It’s a matter of which one is bigger! xoxo
Is that fire coming out of his cup? Or spicy noodles? And here I am thinking that I have some big cups in my kitchen 😉 Great art!
This is unique! Intention or not it’s got a Greek vibe to it. I really love the depth, the mark if a good artist. Quite lovely dahling. Wine?
🍷🍷xoxoxo
Eeee had lots 🍷 & you have wine too! 🍷…band started playing again, got to go draw.. What’s this song?… Tumbling Dice!!!
Cheers! I live Tumbling Dice! The band is hot tonight! 🔥
The band was AMAZING!!!
Just liked your new post (gorgeous). I’ve got to run. I’m voting in the early polls. Will comment when I get home! xoxoxoxoxo
Be safe out there! xoxoxo
I’m back, and have had a shower! Gotta wash the Covid off! I wore 2 masks and a shield.
It’s the first day of early voting. The process due to Covid ensures a slow moving line-up. It took me an hour. I’m glad I went. Ever day there will be more and more people! xoxoxo
I did mail in ballot last year but the Red states are trying to make voting as difficult as possible in the middle of a pandemic. Actually they are succeeding in making it very difficult for minorities to vote but in the process they are also making it very difficult for the elderly , a big part if their constituents. They recognize their stupidity in 2022. 😂
xoxoxo
I hope they get effedover! When will there be an election when Ron Death Sentence can be voted out?
Was going to post today, but will wait until tomorrow because of 9/11.
DeathSantis is up for re-election in 2022 . He wants to be president. Horrors!
YUK!! We’ll have to move to the North Pole!
He’s the lowest of the low.
How intriguing, to say the least, Resa, but great art work. I love the colors and details, and that tree with the arrow and beautiful leaves. And I’ll have a glass of wine, too. Thank you very much. Cheers! 🍷🥰
Thank you, Lauren! Cheers! 🍷🍷
Ooh, this is definitely wine for thought. What is with the arrow piercing the tree (?Daphne) and the half moon? Hope he gets over the hangover to give us the answers. Thank you for this stimulating artwork, Resa.
You are welcome! More people than I thought, found an intellectual or historical mythology statement in this work.
I was pleasantly surprised.
It was a good mental exercise.
True!!!
