Pencil and Charcoal Drawing by Austin Ventola / Nephew To Gregory Michael Maness

More than two decades ago, a young boy was on vacation with his parents Carolyn and Michael Ventola in San Diego, California.He sat at his uncle’s art table, captivated by lines, shadows, and the infinite power of creativity. That young boy was Austin Ventola—now a gifted Graphic Design Artist and proud graduate of the renowned Ringling College of Art and Design in Sarasota, Florida.

This powerful portrait of Jesus Christ, rendered in pencil and charcoal, was Austin’s final exam drawing of importance—one that earned him high praise and recognition as a student of distinction. His professors noted both the technical precision and the emotional depth of his work. The raw humanity and sacred symbolism captured in Christ’s expression reflect not only artistic maturity but spiritual insight.

Austin’s early inspiration began at the GregoArt Studio with his Uncle, Artist Gregory Michael Maness. One of their first collaborations as a young boy and mentor was a piece called The Screaming Flower—a bold and imaginative choice from a selection of sketches Grego offered. “I never knew I would have such a profound effect on him with my artwork, I am so proud of him” Grego later reflected. And yet, that early spark of creativity has grown into a blazing light. .

An Original, One-of-a-Kind Oil Painting by Artist Gregory Michael Maness

Step into the golden glow of harvest season with Chardonnay Summer, a masterful oil painting that captures the soul of California’s wine country. The focal point—a laborer bent under the weight of an overflowing harvest backpack—embodies the grit, toil, and passion behind every exquisite bottle of Chardonnay. You can almost feel the relentless summer sun radiating off the canvas, the scent of ripening grapes thick in the air.

Beyond its breathtaking brushwork, this piece is a true sensory experience. The artist has seamlessly integrated vineyard wire and authentic Chardonnay grapevines into the frame, while real black crow feathers adorn the harvester’s hat. A cascade of hand-selected, high-end California Chardonnay corks lines the base of the frame, grounding the piece in authenticity. Grapes spill from the canvas in 3D, blurring the line between art and reality, inviting you to reach out and taste the harvest.

More than a painting, Chardonnay Summer is an invitation—to step into the vineyards, feel the weight of the harvest, and toast to the beauty of craftsmanship in both art and winemaking.
