ALTHOUGH initially rejecting the idea of painting a mural, John Daniels unveiled a six-metre work at Red Edge winery last Saturday.<\/p>\n

Daniels has been painting since he retired, usually on a much smaller scale.<\/p>\n

“About 18 months ago, Peter Dredge from Red Edge mentioned he was thinking of having a mural done; a backdrop of vines,” said Daniels.<\/p>\n

“I immediately said I’d make it a take on The Last Supper with his family, wine flowing, dogs, chooks, et cetera, but I wouldn’t do it. It’s not what I do.<\/p>\n

“Then last summer a mural was being done on the RSL and it made me reconsider. And I was bored. I researched mural painting, approached Peter for approval and soon began.<\/p>\n

“The hardest part was getting photos of all participants in the correct poses. One, Peter’s daughter’s partner, was in Ireland and sent a photo.”<\/p>\n

Once started, the mural was soon completed in a few weeks.<\/p>\n

“I used cheap watercolour; hence the drips, which I used to my advantage in parts,” Daniels said.<\/p>\n

“We decided to make it portable, and I painted on boards 2.4 metres high by 1.2 metre wide at home.<\/p>\n

“So, it’s six metres overall, fixed to a wall and under cover. I have decided to name it The Last Sipper.<\/p>\n

“Hopefully it will add to people’s experience when they come this breathtaking spot so close to town.”<\/p>\n

Overlooking the township, Red Edge is the oldest vineyard in Heathcote.<\/p>\n

“The vineyard was originally started by Vern Weirtmann in 1971,” said current owner, Peter Dredge.<\/p>\n

“He was a Swiss soil scientist working for the Board of Works in the 60s and chose this site because of the soil and aspect.<\/p>\n

“When I purchased the property in 1994, I became custodian of the historic vines.”<\/p>\n

The unveiling of Daniels’ mural coincided with the Red Edge Spring Fiesta, celebrating the end of winter. “Although I live in Heathcote, I’ve never been here before,” said visitor Sandra Kirby. “It is a hidden gem, and the pizza is delicious.<\/p>\n

“John’s painting is stunning, absolutely fabulous.”<\/p>\n

Red Edge is at 54 Golden Gully Road, Heathcote, and is open Monday to Saturday. More of Daniels’ work can be seen on Instagram @johndaniels9851<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
