This Gin & Tonic is NFS, it's part of the raffle I mentioned in an earlier post for my daughter to participate in the Boston Marathon. Since I'm not a big drinker, I splurge when I do, so... it's Hendrick's. If you like gin at all, this is the creme de la creme. This painting, in acrylic, done at home (with a zillion light sources) drove me batty. Literally. I cried. I threw stuff. I bent my brush. This is attempt #3, and I can't bring myself to show you the 1st two - they looked like it was my very first painting. Not used to painting glass with acrylics - and it's different, and the light... So my husband suggested I shut all the shutters in the room, and turn on my clamp light... now why didn't I think of that? And really... try, just TRY to paint ice under a hot light!!!! Suffice it to say that my house looks like a hurricane hit it after all my fits...
Now, I think I'll drink my subject... I deserve it!
