Painting of mockingbird with a tequila shot
Tequila Mockingbird
Acrylics
9.5 x 6.5
2016

This painting is part of my Animal Spirit series. Spirits can be ghosts or the liquid containing ethanol and water that is distilled. Animal spirits can be guides to understanding personality or the future. Or, in this case, Animal Spirits are drinks associated with an animal, feathered, finned, scaled, or furred.

This painting combines my Animal Spirit series with my love of literature! I don’t know if Harper Lee would have approved of this painting, but I envision Scout staring at this painting and giggling. RIP, Harper Lee. But, back to the drinking: if you buy excellent tequila, connoisseurs say all you have to do is pour and sip. So, this procedure is for the other tequilas.

This painting comes framed. Contact the artist if you would like to see a picture of this painting framed.
