On Top of the Wine Barrel is the Tree of Peace

    The top or "head" of the barrel where branding goes, has a red, yellow, black and white tree of peace reaching out into the four directions. I got this tree design from my friend Jason Rios who is a Cherokee medicine man. 
    Once this barrel was filled to capacity with wine, now, it carries the weight of as much culture I could paint onto it within this limited time frame. Below are the words carved into the top of the wine barrel.
