A longtime resident of Walton County, Justin Gaffrey has enjoyed a variety of successful careers prior to turning to art in 2001. It was as a renowned chef and restaurant owner that Justin first expressed his creative drive. The love he felt for the act of creating was what ultimately drove him from the daily grind of the restaurant business to the purely creative life of the visual artist.

Beginning with primitive, "folk art" style works, Justin soon moved to a much more textured, classically impressionistic style. He credits a viewing of Van Gogh's "Sunflowers" as the epiphany that sent him searching for a medium and technique that would allow him to achieve the deeply textured, multi-dimensional work he crafts today.

Today he produces works of breathtaking beauty and complexity using only a palette knife and pure, acrylic paints (no fillers are used). His technique might best be described as "sculpting with paint." While the subject matter varies, his works are all reflections of the beauty he finds in the natural world that surrounds him daily along Highway 30A.

His work is now widely collected and graces venues throughout the United States. You can follow Justin's artistic journey, both past and present, by viewing the galleries on justingaffrey.com and in person at his gallery in Blue Mountain Beach, Florida.

This lot includes:

• A large, custom Justin Gaffrey art piece designed for you following an in-home consultation with the artist. In addition, witness Justin Gaffrey create an additional piece just for you to take home LIVE under the tent during Saturday's Reserve Tasting & Walkabout!
  
• Multi-course dinner for eight (8) people paired with wine and prepared by Justin Gaffrey in your home

Restrictions: Dinner and consultation must be booked in advance on mutually agreeable dates and are subject to availability. Expires April 30, 2020.

In 1971, Cash wrote the song "Man in Black" to help explain his dress code:

"We're doing mighty fine I do suppose in our streak of lightning cars and fancy clothes, but just so we're reminded of the ones who are held back. Up front, there ought to be a man in black."

Celebrate the legacy of American singer-songwriter, guitarist, actor, and author, the man in black himself, Johnny Cash.
