Another piece that I'm getting ready for an upcoming wine tasting.  I have work in G44 Gallery.  The owner is also half owner of a liquor store.  So, she's planning on having monthly wine tastings and asked for more wine and cocktail paintings.

As I've said, I often get my quotes from Google.  For this one, the quote has become so famous, it was right there in my head!  No searches were required.

I don't often paint a still life from a photo, in fact I can't think when I ever have.  But, I got a new camera over the holidays and we were sitting in a bar watching the Broncos game with our son and my husband ordered a martini.  It looked so beautiful sitting there on the metal table, the neonish blue placemat reflecting up, my son's black jacket creating a backdrop, my new camera on hand, that I snapped some photos.  Upon returning home from our trip and reviewing the pictures, I thought this was a great set up.  So, I painted this still life from a photo.

I'm still working on the colors from this camera.  I'll get it soon, but in the mean time, these colors are just a bit off.
