Granny's Fly

Post by Roadkill » Mon Nov 18, 2024 12:53 pm

My grandmother was born in Bordeaux while her father was working there for the Austrian Government. While recently visiting the Cite du Vin, I decided to create a fly in her honor with some of the wide range of colors in Bordeaux wines. ;)
