Cheers! iPad Martini painting by Kelley Macdonald

The Challenge.  You know, no one ever said it had to be a painted painting, right?  So today, after wiping off a perfectly awful and boring rendition of a martini, I came home and took my iPad and made this.  Actually, it's the martini I painted poorly at the studio, only from memory, and with a little verve.  I love that word, "verve"~
I was kind of still in recovery mode today after nursing my pup through the night on Friday, and thank you all who wrote - he's on the mend with a bland diet and rest.  I had fun today after my failed painting, with a friend who drove down from Boston.  We laughed, and she brought Paco two Christmas presents (which, BTW, he loves, loves, loves to unwrap presents - he really 'gets' the gift idea!) and had lunch, and then even dinner together.  And so I settled in on the couch, with the iPad on top of Paco, who is ever in my lap, and this came out of it.  So 'cheers' - to painting, to friendship and to puggie love!  Another pug tomorrow!
And yesterday I posted my 1,000th post!  YAY!  Quietly, and without fanfare... just plodding away.  It's been great, and there's no stopping me now!

  4. Wow - 1000 posts? That's amazing!
    I think the 30 day challenge is such a wonderful idea.
    For me, time just wouldn't have allowed it, so I'm doing the 75 day sketch challenge instead, between my usual painting time.
    The way I see it, even if it was a wiper - you still painted a painting, so you haven't failed! And then you still did this one too! :0)
