Dazzling colors Dave. Looks like a real celebration going on. Have a great weekend.

Artist Reply: Thanks, John. the color really popped when I painted over gesso, but have to say these Amsterdam acrylics have a pretty rich pigment. Best to you for a good weekend : )

It's great to be sitting cold on the fresh Chicago snow with a good ole' friend in your hand within such a promising environment. Did you know, Dave, we in Russia have drastically cut down on drinking? Strange things happen once in a while. Great compo as always and minimalistic color solution,

Artist Reply: Thank you Nikolay . The snow is sure coming down on us here in the windy city . I remember shoveling snow when we were kids, mom would give us a little shot of blackberry brandy to warm up when we got inside. : ) Great to hear about Russia..... in moderation and to know ones limitations is best .

Sort of a 'T'is the season to imbibe' sentiment, Dave. Very clean, balanced work and the bottle designs are great. Stay warm. :)

Artist Reply: Thanks Charles, this one was laying about unfinished for a few months ... finally got around to finishing it with the esthetic that worked ( I thought) By the way, this was the cardboard from the back of a sketch pad, I used pvc glue to seal it , then gave it a healthy gesso ing ... Yes, Chicago is in for some snow tonight and tomorrow Hope your thanksgiving was good : )
