The venerable Orange County Fair in Costa Mesa was home to Robert R. Copple’s art display for the fair’s entire run (July 16-August 15).

Robert exhibited near the wine pavilion and showed many of his artworks to passing visitors, with a special emphasis on his Taste of Romance collection that has such strong affinity to wine aficionados.

“It was a tremendous experience, meeting so many art and wine enthusiasts in one location,” commented Robert after the fair’s completion. “I’m glad I participated, because the opportunity to meet new friends and greet familiar ones is something I value as much as I do creating my art.”

Many of Robert’s followers are on his email list (see the sign-up form on the right column of this page), so they were alerted to his presence at the show from mailers sent during the show’s run.

Robert participated in Disney’s signature food and wine event at California Adventure from April 15 through May 31, 2010.

Entitled “The Art of Flavor,” the event brought together the best in contemporary chefs and wineries. Robert was chosen as Disney’s first featured artist for Food and Wine 2010.

Robert presented a complete display of all his Taste of Romance works, and met hundreds of collectors and art enthusiasts.

It was a great experience for Robert, and a wonderful opportunity to present his Taste of Romance collection to a wide audience – visitors to the amazing and popular Disney’s California Adventure.

Every honorable project takes a while for it to reach a completion point, and designing and building a new internet identity is no different.

We have had a long presence on the web, going back many years now, but it was time for us to upgrade and provide you, our valued art collector and friend, with a more appropriate look and feel that captures the sensibilities of today, but providing the right frame for our artwork.

We think we’ve found the right combination with this new design. Pictures are large and easy to see – and if you click on any of the larger images, you will see a “full screen” zoom effect that allows you to examine the artwork in much greater detail.

We also make it easier for you to inquire about any item we have – simply complete the response form accompanying any artwork, and we will let you know more about that item’s availability, pricing and participating galleries.

In all, we are very proud of our new site, and hope you enjoy it too. If you have any comments, please don’t hesitate to drop us a note and let us know what you think. We value your feedback as much as your support.

Sincerely,
Robert R. Copple
