Ray, this is different approach to your unique style. The realism of this artwork and still using abstract color blends are again showing your artistic creativity and talent.
Great idea, concept and overall pleasing presentation.

    Jirina, this piece was suppose to be humor, a couple of laughs worth and not too much more. Because there are a lot of paint and sips around the country where you would sip wine and paint. Thank you for the fine review and I am glad you enjoy it. Ray

    So much fun to view Ray. There are places like this on the Oregon coast also.
Comment from Thomas Blanks


We are a little different, Ray. My brushes are usually lying all over my desk as I paint. I pick them up and put them in my art box, but not in a stand like you are showing. As for what I drink to paint? Tea... I need caffeine to paint, LOL. I love the colors you used in this piece.
Regards,
Thomas

    Thank you Thomas for the wonderful review and rating. I don't drink and Paint, I have a small glass of wine with dinner, maybe twice a week. It puts me to sleep. Before Covid, Paint and Sips were popping up all over. I am so glad you enjoy it. Ray

I see your colors and your style only a little more traditionally measured. This is a change of pace from your usual blunt and come and get it neo impressionism and I like it.

Overall I get a sense of a light mood. Kind of taking a break from the path and just kicking back and having a little fun.

By the way, bitchin self portrait ... Bob

Comment from FBI GUY


This is almost a realistic image. That might be accounted for the fact that the glass of wine is full. The blending of pastel colors of the brushes and the contrasting green and rust red containers. The DOF is good, and the glass of wine is a great position to be accessible as needed. Nice work.

Comment from avmurray


I can see that a glass of wine is an important part of the implements of creativity, since it has got a placement in the foreground. LOL Seems like you have a good selection of brushes as well, and here I thought it was the pallet knife being your favorite tool.

It is anyway a great set up, and I like the bright colors, and also how well defined the brushes are. Good use of high lights, and great textures.

The format and framing is perfect, and with the glass off to the right, it is a very good balance in the composition. I think this is a truly lovely and well done painting Ray.

A good looking image posted of an artists essentials. Your fine and full composition gives us a good look at your impressive organisation. Do you have the wine before, during or after painting? Nicely done!

    It all depends on, if you are searching, enjoying or admiring. I would say that just about covers all aspects of creating not just painting. I may just turn this into a series. Thank you for the fine review. Ray
Comment from Shirlenadesigner


I would definitely have this piece on my wall. The way you have blended the brights and pastel colors together almost has the appearance of stained glass without the trimmings. Edgy and innovative.

    Thank you Shirlena, for the wonderful review. The edge is where its happening, but not a place for a glass of wine. Ray

Booze never enhanced my Artistic Creativity in the least!
That's a pleasantly colorful and nicely-presented painting though!

    Sean, I can't cover all the people all of the time and it would be foolish to even try. Sip and Paints have become a popular all over, but I'm not a boozer either. I am gathering other possible implements for future laughs so stay tuned. I am glad you did enjoy the painting. Ray

    I have a glass of wine with dinner but not every night and I enjoy it. You brought the snake back in a recent post I like that one. Ray
