I hit the bottle last night!



I hit the bottle last night. We had our first campfire this Spring. Along with loaded hot dogs, beans and of course a bottle of beer. Or two. So imagine my shock at today's http://www.illustrationfriday.com/ theme. Bottle. Crazy coincidence? Me exaggerate? Never!




I painted my bottle entries to look like glass. I also used some pearlescent liquid acrylic. Which never really shows up when you scan a piece of art work. The purple bottle selection is definitely a stronger piece with the addition of the glass shadows. I suppose all these years later I could add shadows to the pink bottle piece. Excuse me while I run over and pencil that in at the very bottom of my to do list!




P.S. Be sure to beat feet over to http://toemail.wordpress.com/2011/07/punaluu-beach-hawaii/ for my latest photo entry on this fun blog.

I love all the colors in both but my eyes keep going back to that purple bottle.

Sounds like a fun campfire!
