Still life with temptation
I haven’t had a drink in over ten years. I found that drinking alcohol would make me feel dizzy, bump into things and become generally more charming. So I stopped and didn’t start again.
To test my resolve, I did this still life of a drink on a seat. I found it very hard to capture the right colour of amber. My first crack at it looked like I was winding down with a refreshing glass of Tang. When I finished, I poured the subject back into the bottle and felt an overwhelming rush of smugness. Later Katrina told me the shadows in the picture were confusing, so I put them back in the bottle too.
I wasn’t happy with this picture, so I did it again. Here it is … again.
