I am a little afraid of martinis and that's why I don't drink them. A beautifully chilled glass filled to the brim with vodka. What so scary about that? I have friend who orders "dirty martinis" with three olives. I have had sip of this concoction and have subsequently asked if I could just have a glass of olive juice in that beautifully chilled glass. At that request, the wait staff will usually just walk away shaking their head. I end up with my usual glass of wine. This is a commissioned painting for a friend of a friend in Northeast Harbor, Maine. He obviously does not share my fear of the martini.
I noticed the rim was a little "wonky", a word I learned in this EDM group, so I fixed that. The beauty of oils.

that is a gorgous dangerous painting. love your color choice and wonky is a favorite word of mine too!
That's beautiful! I'm not a big martini person either--have a friend who loves them, though. I do love martini glasses, though--and it's such a great painting image--you captured it gloriously!
If anything deserves a "wonky" edge, I would think it might be a martini glass! (You could always name it A.M. as in "After Martini." I like your post- vet journal/painting entry, too. There's some extra control the artist gets when s/he can editorialize with verbal content!!
You always have such great stuff to show. Love the vibrant colors!
Great atmosphere in this, it's a beautiful painting. I'm with you though, I'd much prefer a glass of wine.
Love your painting. I'm so glad that your fear is of martini's not oil paints!
It's gorgeous! Love the colors and great balance!
I like the rich, dark, saturated colors. I also like the graphic quality of the work. Nice simple, strong, bold composition. Great piece.
Lovely - and the danger has been made palpable through the colors and mood. Great interpretation of the challenge!
Oh how I would love to "stop by your studio" and see these in person. I love the drama in this piece, Fabulous! I myself like a cosmo occasionally or an espresso martini - the girly stuff - mostly for the sophisticated glass I have to admit! I had a blueberry martini in Bar Harbor to die for!
Nicely done...love your commentary! :)
Nice strong design and color! I don't challenge myself with glass. I have a doggy love too! Thanks for the comment on a hundred horses. Continued success.
I think I'm going to have to steal your idea for a dangerous EDM challenge... great job (are those pastels or paints? nice use of white)
