My inspiration for this work was the semi abstract qualities of the liquid pouring over the ice, which I wanted to capture along with the interesting geometry of the ice cubes. Unusually I didn't make any prep. drawings as clearly the ice would have melted before I could finish,{and the drink would have disappeared too...hic.) so I had to rely on my photos. This is the second version of the same subject which sold at the Mall Galleries London, as a finalist in the Daily Mail "Not the Turner Prize" That particular piece was actually a surreal composition as I had put in a bottle pouring the drink over the ice but the glass was painted inside a painting itself whilst the bottle was outside that painting. This piece took me a total of 14 hours from conception to completion. In a line all 6 pieces in this series look stunning, and would be ideal for an upmarket restaurant/bistro so I would reduce prices for the purchase of more than one work and sell all 6 for £1450,saving you £500 more,
