Preferred Beverage
When you get ready to celebrate, what preferred beverage comes to mind? Champagne? Red Wine? Lately, I have had to pass these beverages to someone else. Ye olde headache starts before I even take the first sip. HA! But Bailey’s Irish Cream, that’s a whole other story. What do I mean? Not sure if it’s the size of the serving I have or my Irish heritage. But I can always celebrate with a teenie, tiny serving and sip of Bailey’s. And, that’s one of the inspirations for this week’s painting. Here it is!
And, that flask? Oh my oh my it was so much fun to paint. And, yes, on occasion I/we do put a little something in that flask but mostly I love to paint it here in the studio. This painting is for sale for $97 + $7.03 NC Sales Tax + $25 Shipping = $129.03. Here’s the PayPal Link in that amount to make it yours.
Cheers to You and Yours

January 2, 2025The things we learn about people we know! This was a fun post to remind me that there’s always more to know!
I’m struck by the darkness of this painting. It seems perfect for this time of year and the warm and fuzzy feeling that Bailey’s can bring on. May have to have a sip myself tonight! Looking forward to more art by you!
