limoncello

I've been working on a small painting for a friend who makes her own limoncello. I pour a lot into work that is intended for someone I know, and there is an extra frisson of pleasure in painting something for someone dear to me. We collaborated on the image, coming up the concept together. The friend did the photography, working on composition and light like a pro. The result will be something special to us both. Here's the beginning.
First the drapery, always fun.

Yesterday I laid in the rest. Off to the drying room, back for refinement, then salut!
