7x5 oil on canvas
This was a quick play date with a pony bottle. I had limited time, which turned out to be good for me. I was forced not to fuss, and I played with some slippery transparent paint.
I keep pony bottles of Rolling Rock on hand for when I make chili. Six ounces for the pot and one for the cook. It's the perfect amount. I'm a cheap date. Rolling Rock was a western PA brew until a few years ago, in case you're questioning my taste.
I have this running gag in which I commandeer my loved one's shopping or to-do list and add "buy Dar a pony." I started doing it ages ago at my Mom's, because she always has a shopping list on the kitchen counter. On my way out, I sneak it on her list, just to let her know I was there. My husband usually has a list lying around too, of his good intentions. I add reminders for him to do nice things for me, including buying a pony.
When asked what I want for Christmas, my pat answer is "world peace and an end to hunger, ... and maybe a pony." Eric took me seriously a few years ago, and we've been contributing to several charities as a new holiday tradition. But you know, I'm still waiting for the pony.

Nice glass Dar! The highlight reflections came off real nice and of course the lost edge is cool. Great work! I drink Mexican beer while making/eating chili. I like to think they were made for each other. :)
I like this painting Dar; simplicity - just up my street. I've never heard of Pony's though, nor have I heard of Rolling Rock - is it red wine? That seems to me what you might put in chilli.
Jeff, thanks. I like your new avatar. Now I need some XX.
Hi Sheila, thanks. Rolling Rock is a local beer. Good and cheap! I like cooking with red wine too.
Good painting, Dar. Crisp, clear and well-crafted, not to mention fun to look at.
Thanks so much Dianne. Hey, are you describing the painting or beer!?
What's a pony bottle? A large bottle?? I'm not a beer drinker; I don't know about these things... Great job at achieving the glass translucence!
Yes, lack of time is a great remedy for fussiness! And so is Rolling Rock, now that I think about it... Mmm.
the glass is fanastic !
Thanks Jala. A pony is a 7 oz. bottle. Just my size.
Hi Diane. Yeah, painting under the influence might be a useful thing...
Edward, thanks so much.
A nice painting, Dar. How many of these did you have before you finished?
I need one now, brother. I spent 2 days painting crap.
You've been working hard and it shows!
thank you so much, Diana!
