This 12x12 painting was inspired by a warm summer afternoon and reflecting on a trip to Italy several years ago. I used a palette knife to layer on the paint, and carved out the shape of the bottle and the ice cubes in a chilled glass.
The warm oranges and yellows capture the glow of a perfect spritz, balanced by deep and airy blues that remind me of the Mediterranean sky. It’s nestled in a clean white floater frame, making it feel like a bright little window back to that trip. Every time I look at it, I’m right back at a tiny cafe in a bustling piazza, listening to the clink of ice and feeling that warm summer breeze.
