"Tequila Rose"

6" x 6" oil on Ampersand Gessobord
SOLD



A friend of mine showed up on my doorstep with these two bottles a while back thinking I might want to paint them.  She was right!  She spotted them in a recycle bin and dove in to fish them out for me.  I knew it was time when I saw the Daily Paintworks Glass Challenge show up.

These are Patron Silver Tequila bottles which are hand blown in Mexico.  Not a whiff left of the former contents but here's what I found to describe this premium tequila:

Brilliant crystal clear in appearance; pronounced aromas of citrus rind, melon and cucumber with notes of herb and smoke; initial palate is rich, sweet and ultra-smooth, with flavours of lime/citrus, spice with peppery and light briny notes on the long complex finish.

Here in the US we often have these "cute" little clementines from California available in our grocery stores.  TV advertisements for "Cuties" say they are made for kids because they are little, cute, juicy, seedless and peel so easily.  I know a lot of older 'kids' (like me) who like them too. :)
