PROTECTING THE HAREM
ORIGINAL WATERCOLOR PAINTING
By Christopher St. Leger
This beautiful, original watercolor was painted by Texas
artist, Christopher St. Leger. A native of northwest
Indiana, now residing in Lockhart, Texas, Mr. St. Leger’s
works have been shown in galleries in Austin, Houston,
and New York City, and abroad in London, Frankfurt,
and Budapest. Much of the artist’s work has been
“urbanscapes,” a theme that explores city buildings,
streets, and alleyways. The skill and precision with which
he executes his work in watercolor is truly admirable.
Spontaneous splatters of paint accompany his choice of
palette, which ranges from soft pastels to bold, dominant
primary colors—all recurring themes in his works.
Expanding to wildlife, Mr. St. Leger was commissioned
to paint two watercolors, depicting the rutting season for
elk. This one has become the image used on the label
of the RMEF Edition Rutting Ridge Cabernet Sauvignon,
which makes its debut this December in Las Vegas at
the RMEF Hunter & Outdoor Christmas Expo. Along
with each beautiful painting, Rutting Ridge Cellars
has included six bottles of their fabulous Cabernet
Sauvignon. This Cabernet is extraordinary in character,
containing rich berry fruit with oak and vanilla notes. A
long, smooth toast is employed, creating a mediumbodied
creaminess with gentle tannins. For every bottle
sold, Rutting Ridge donates $3.00 to benefi t the ongoing
wildlife and habitat conservation efforts of the Rocky
Mountain Elk Foundation.
