Repost Thursday

So funny little story, maybe. So one day a friend of mine who had a combo office space and impromptu art gallery, asked if I could paint anything. I said sure, obviously, some things I might paint better than others, but I felt pretty confident in my abilities. So he reached into his waste basket and pulled out an empty beer can from the previous evening. “Ok, then paint this.” I returned to my studio and painted this still life. The indentations on the top of the beer can resembled eyes and nostrils, to me, while the opening kind of looked like a mouth. My ode to the king of beers, meh.
Very good, haven’t seen one of those openings in a while!
I may have to ask the guy I painted this for how old that can was as it was a long time ago when cans had one of those peel back and toss openings.
I remember them, it’s been a long while!
