Taste of the NFL Commission - by Texas Artist Kay Wyne

Cheers to Twenty Years
Commission for Taste of the NFL
Mixed Media - 30" x 24" Gallery Wrap Canvas

“Cheers to Twenty Years” is a mixed media art piece exploring the purpose of The Taste of the NFL, the chefs, and events that have taken place in the past twenty years. It is a work of art celebrating the parties with purpose. The canvas tells the story of many memories past…ticket stubs, cookbook covers, wine labels, the thirty-two NFL teams, chefs, and the mission statement. The longhorn, bandana and map of North Texas add a Texas flavor to the canvas. A wine glass and confetti are reminders of parties past. Deep rich colors, lines, shapes and images allow the eye to move all over the canvas. I was truly inspired by the commitment and generosity of so many people who have been associated with this organization. My goal was to capture and celebrate the spirit of The Taste of the NFL on canvas.

It's Super Bowl time! Everyone in North Texas is getting ready for the Super Bowl. If you aren't familiar with Taste of the NFL, please go to their website...for twenty years they have been raising money to help support Food Banks. They put on a great party the night before the Super Bowl (yes, I get to attend with family and friends!!!) Here is the piece...and what has been really fun for me is to donate the art, meet so many fabulous people who are working towards one goal. Helping feed the hungry. Here is a press release on the artwork: http://www.kwyne.com/images/events/NR%20TNFL%20Artwork.FINAL.pdf
