As READ online...

on an email I get from a book company, the title was "When Vodka and Watercolor Mix.." At first I thought - 'yep - that would certainly loosen up your brushstrokes', but upon reading the article -

DAY 25 of 30 Paintings in 30 Days

"You Had Me at Merlot"

12" x 16"

oil on wrapped canvas

(very thick, wet paint is shining)

Thanks to my sister-in-law - who kept me going today.

This is done from one of her photos.

At first I was muddling in the 'have to get those ellipses and edges

perfect!'  Then I thought, hey, this is a piece of art, not a 

reproduction. 

I have to continue to push myself

for losing edges and not getting

hung up on every little detail when painting

from photos.

This one was perfect for today, as I had lots of these colors

left over from yesterday.

Have this head cold soo bad right now, I need a bucket under

my nose.  Had to get this one done, so I could lay down -

it's kicking my arse today!
