Wash Bishop Astride Ask Away By Radford Wine
Artist Radford Wine, Winchester, Va., has enjoyed a rewarding career in the visual arts. His work has been featured in magazines and news articles, he’s designed for numerous clientele including General Electric, Dupont Corporation, the National Park Service, and he’s painted a commissioned portrait of renowned actor Robert Duvall.
In his earlier years of commercial design, Wine was awarded honors from Print magazine. Some of his works are included within the corporate collections of the Toyota Corporation and the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation.
A multi-faceted painter, Wine is not content to paint in one style. Although the majority of his work consists of land and waterscapes rendered with a soft, impressionistic touch, he’s quite adept at a number of other genres.
