Tequila Shots withSalt-Giclee Print on Paper -Liquor Artwork-Jose Cuervo-Bar Print

  
"Friday Night" by Brenda Hart. Was the first of many from my "favorite beverages" series. I enjoyed capturing the nuances of the Jose Cuervo tequila bottle and shot glass. To date I've painted 3 commissioned pieces of clients favorite tequilas, I can only assume it falls into the favorite beverage category. Framed: Brown wood frame with plexiglass. Framed size 16 x 24. Print size is 11 x 19. Unframed comes rolled or flat, depending on the size. The term "Giclee" refers specifically to a high-quality fine art print produced using specialized inkjet printers and archival-quality inks and papers or canvas.

Estimating to last up to 200 years. They are considered high end, museum quality. They can't be printed on your desktop inkjet. I often use the Golden Ratio in my composition.

It's most famous user was Leonardo da Vinci. It is in all of nature, including our bodies, so it makes things pleasing to the eye. It would be hard to explain here, but you can google it if interested. It is also known as Golden Section or Means and is used in architecture.

Brenda Hart has been painting and drawing most of her life. Though she had other businesses she kept up with her painting. In her younger years she worked in a coal mine, before starting an importing company from Peru.

Brenda did this for 30+ years, loving working with artisans and designing a line of hand painted jewelry. She also founded a feral cat rescue that keeps her busy. While all this was going on, she had several great private painting teachers. She also traveled to rural England multiple times to study Trompe l' oeil mural painting with Janet Shearer. She paints murals in her studio on canvas that can be installed anywhere.

Brenda has been in galleries in Colorado and New Mexico. She now lives in rural Fort Lupton, CO along with 10 ex-feral cats. I love food, that's probably why paint it so often. I like putting humor into my art too!

Making inanimate objects come to life with real objects. The lizard slinking off the Peruvian vase in Lizard at Large, the two old Asian ceramic men playing Go, in Sake a GoGo.

Slice of Life Force, a tai chi figurine slicing the pear with energy. I believe some thought should go into naming a painting and try to come up with something while I work.

Painting can be fun, frustrating and rewarding all at once. I remember what one of my teachers said to me. Brenda, you need to paint until your worst painting is good enough.
