A new fun painting~ Canadian Beer

Canadian Beer
6" x 6"
Acrylic on Gallery Wrapped Canvas
~Sold~


This was such a fun painting to do! I will have to paint more beer! I am currently finishing commissions, but after that there will be more beer bottle paintings.

Canadian Beer was painted using professional artist grade acrylic paint on a gallery wrapped museum quality canvas with painted sides to allow for hanging without a frame. Painting was finished with a light coat of varnish.

I have been painting on a large scale for the upcoming show in May. It was nice to do a small painting for a change.

Thanks for stopping by~

New Year and back to work~ Last year was a wonderful year full of changes and blessings. I am very fortunate to have a wonderful life and a fabulous family. 2011 can only be better! There will be more paintings and more fun~

These past few weeks I have been busy with commissions that I could not post to prevent the people receiving some of these paintings from seeing them before they were gifted to them. These paintings are recently completed and moved on to their new homes.
