I will never forget cycling through France during a canicule, stopping at a bar for a beer: I accidentally ordered a non-alcoholic one. I waited for the rush of energy - but it never happened......
My husband laughed at me and said he had wondered why I ordered that one....... So beautiful as this painting is - I am disappointed.
I think a "Happy Birthday" must be in order. I like your beer; It's a fun beverage to paint.
Your just-prior self portrait was marvelous. Luscious brushstrokes, wonderful color. Wish you'd do a few more portraits or figuratives every now and again. When the work turns out as great as your self portrait, it's a shame not to try your hand more often.
Dear Julian, the painting is masterly, done with great panache!
Intrigued about the mention of the beer being non-alcoholic, but no doubt the Meister has his reasons?!
