A Shot of Sleepless Night

A Shot of Sleepless Night
6x6, soft pastel


Day 9 of the #stradaeasel - I’m not going to bother painting this one twice because it reminds me of last night...when it seemed the world was falling apart. Problems with Iran, uncontrolled fires in Australia and a plane crash out of Tehran (later determined to be shot down in error by Iranian forces)...instead of sleeping well and getting up in the wee hours of the morning excited to paint another piece for the 31 day challenge...I couldn’t go to sleep. Finally, at 1am I went into the studio and sketched this little shot of whiskey so it would be ready to paint in the morning. Thankfully, it helped me sleep 😴.
