I was very excited when I received a recent commission request for a quartet of paintings. Each painting is to feature a cocktail, representing one of the four seasons. My patron has already purchased my Holiday Hot Chocolate and Autumn Apple Cider with Cinnamon paintings, for Winter and Fall. I was tasked to create two more paintings, one for Summer and the other for Spring.
The Summer cocktail painting has a watermelon theme, which is carried through by the pattern and red/green accents. The background pattern is lightly colored with strips reminiscent of a watermelon rind.
