"New Year's Toast" 2.5"x3.5" watercolor
I had it planned to post this toast with my DSDF portrait piece but I haven't had any sleep because we had to take Mom to the airport at 3AM. And you know what happens when you lack sleep, your normal seconds stretch to minutes or hours lol But I actually sketched out the portrait by 8AM thinking finishing it would be a piece o' cake...well I can't open the bottle of Liquin - DOH! >_< How do you force open a glass bottle without breaking it? It's not like the can of Turpenoid that eventually punched a whole in because I couldn't take the cap off it WAH! Tips would be welcome for uncapping those stubborn push-and-turn caps.
I sold my "Teacups and Roses" 14"x37" pastel to my dearest Red because she wanted to surprise her Momma who expressed how much she liked the piece when she saw in the pastel exhibit. Here is a closer shot than the previous images I posted. Blowing you a kiss Red - MUAH!

Catch y'all next year ;)
I love the wonderful bubbly, warm look you achieved in your watercolor. Beautiful! Congratulations on the sell of your pastel. Anyone would be very proud to own that one. Have a wonderful New Year and get some rest.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Erika! Great paintings as always.
ReplyDeleteErika, thanks for the cute Ecard.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!!
Vicki thanks so much for your kind words!
ReplyDeleteThank you Caren, let's plan on the best year in 2009!
ReplyDeleteGlad you like the card Akiko! Aren't they silly characters? They are so me lol
ReplyDeleteWOW! That painting really is GREAT, isn't it? teehee!!!
ReplyDeleteI know you'll be glad to get back in a routine, won't ya gal?
As far as the Liquin, run the cap under really hot water and see if that unsticks it. Altho I don't want to help you out too much or your painting will be better than mine! So cancel the tip O:)
Such a beautiful, strong painting!
ReplyDeleteThats so funny about the liquin!! I have that problem with my varnish bottles, and what I do is turn the bottle upside down in some sort of a container of turpenoid, seep enough to cover where the cap meets bottle, and let it sit for a minute. Cute blog, love your work!!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to my blog Diana! Thanks so much and Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteAh thank you Beth! I finally asked my husband to uncap it for me the next day lol!
ReplyDeleteMiss Vickilou are you done yet? Let us see the portrait!!!
ReplyDeleteHEY! Love the 3-column format! You rock...
ReplyDeleteI did mine in oil and had to wait inbetween sessions for it to dry. I think I'm done, just had to wait until daylight to get a photo.
maybe today...
Thanks Red, it took a few days to click in my had about what needed to happen so my ideas could materialize.
ReplyDeleteYou were just about done with the portrait weren't you? I liked what you had going! xoxoxox
