If you are not aware of what this applies to, see Kari's thread that announced this raffle for Marina and to win this sketch done with rum as the medium!! It smells so good it will make ya REAL thirsty!! I had fun burnin' this out! I tell ya though, rum ain't easy to paint with!! It fights ya like a cheeky British wench being netted and hoisted a midships! I used half a bottle of flame reduced 151 Lemon Hart and about 1/4 bottle of Cruzan Navy Blackstrap Rum. So, the paint wasn't cheap!! (Ya..I drank a wee too!)
Thanks for the ones who supported this so far! Thanks MARINA TOO for holdin' yer breath long enough for me to paint this lil' thing! There MAY be time left to win this still. We have done well! Here is my contribution in RUM as promised. Put this behind glass and in a nice frame that looks like the aged wood of the wreck Bar's interior and this is a really fine relic!! If Marina cannot make it to Oasis, We will show this at Oasis and then Matt this piece and send it to Florida for Marina to sign as well. I will be personally dedicating on the Matt too...then we will ship the result to the raffle winner as promised.

Haaa No surf!! I have been so dang busy with shrunken heads and other art I just knuckled down and spent into the wee hours doing this last night. (the rum was out..so I just lit it and grabbed a brush!! I just wrote her to let her know!! I am not sure if we reached enough to get her to Oasis...but it wil all go to her for her trip promised next year if not.
Kari or I will draw for the raffle at Oasis! I think Kari should cuz between shrinking heads and rum soaked fingers, she has a purdier hand to reach into the basket!!
