Notes: The painting was made in the presence of the owner of the chateau Branon and Haut-Bergey in Pessac Leognan (near Bordeaux) France. James used silver pigments to make this painting. The surface of the painting is more or less reflective. The photos of the painting are therefore dependent on the lighting. James wanted this tableau changing with the light like the chemistry of wine changing.
