"Fifteen in Fifteen" Gin Martini

"Fifteen in Fifteen"  acrylic on paper  7.5" x 5.5"

Yes, I made this with gin for Leigh, it was Sunday after all. Mmmm, it does have a different flavor.

Not sure if you can tell, but this is another "warm" painting, or pigments that lean toward red.

I may not get all 30 paintings finished in the allotted 30 days, but I am having fun that's for sure!

Have a great day!

Cool and Warm Martini's

"Cool Martini"  acrylic on paper  7.5" x 5.5" (I think)

"A Warm Time of Day"  acrylic on paper  7.5" x 5.5" (I think)

The "Cool Martini" painting was done with hansa yellow, alizarin crimson, phthalo blue  and white.

The second painting I used cad yellow medium, cad red medium, ultramarine blue and white.

It was my little exercise today to remind me what I can do with a limited palette and the feeling I can portray with just a few colors! 

Fun, fun, fun. I'm counting these as numbers 13 and Fourteen.

Two More Martini Paintings

"Magical Eleven"  16" by 8", mixed media on canvas -SOLD

"Crazy Martini"  13" by 7", mixed media on yupo paper

A couple of crazy martini paintings here. The bottom painting is on "yupo paper", a plastic surface. My artist buddy Martha Vaught gave a piece of this to me to try and I pushed it pretty hard. I did manage to cause a chunk of paper to rip away, but I just painted back over it!

Detail: Where I ripped a chunk out by accident... oops...

Have a great day!

Number 6 - As Myra would say.....

"Put Some Liquor In It"   mixed media on paper   9" by 8"

Yes, as Myra told me earlier, "Put Some Liquor In It"!

I want to thank Myra, Martine and Jarrod for stopping by with your comments. They really are helpful and keep me on task. Who knew?

Today driving to the studio I was wondering to myself, "What are some of the reasons people drink?" Then I saw a poor kitty that had been hit by a car and thought... that could make someone want to drink, loosing their kitty... but then people drink to celebrate things too, like having a new grand baby... right?

Have a great weekend!

Number Five, on Day Ten

"A Blue One"   mixed media on paper   9" by 8"

This is martini painting number 5. It's on a thin paper so it's a little wrinkly. I plan on mounting this to a better support, I'm hoping it will flatten out nicely because I have five more on the same material.

Have a great day!
