Fig and berry cake. I can call it “A Night’s drinking with friends”, because that what we did, but wine we had was so amazing that I didn’t get a chance to include it in my drawing it was gone too quick, wine from Chile. My friend already got two more bottles, so I will get a chance to draw it, I hope. Color is almost as deep as a cognac. Ink and Kuretake on aged paper.

A Night’s drinking with Friends – Inktense
Its a strange thing but most folks in Wisconsin seem to be owned by dogs. John and family are no exception, in this case Rusty or, to give him his Sunday name – “The Rustman”.
One night, during our visit, I sat on the porch having a conversation with this wise old fellow. I recall he seemed to be in a sombre mood and I asked him why. “Best to have a drink first, “he replied, so I got him some of his special stuff from a secret place in the kitchen and set a bowl before him. After a while, he became more affable and confided in me that he was rather upset at the way the country was going. He bemoaned the fact that there was great financial hardship both in the USA and in other places, such as the UK. What seemed to annoy him most, however, was that no one had asked him for his opinion. “Do you have solutions to this mess?” I asked. “Of course, “ was his answer and, delighted that he could at last engage in a proper conversation, proceeded to give answers. We talked well into the night, enjoying more than a “wee dram” and eventually, as I was looking the worse for wear, he sent me to bed. Horror, of course, because I couldn’t remember a thing the next day so the world will continue to suffer economically. No point in asking him to repeat his solutions. The Rustman is a proud fellow and would be insulted if he thought I had not been listening.
PS This is not quite like the Rustman. In real life, he is far better looking – he told me to say that!

Pomegranate Wine
A page that grew out of a quiet evening at home with my partner and Dr. Who, enjoying some regional wine.

A Night’s Drinking With Friends
Another page inspired by this month’s theme challenge. This one specifically recalls the details of a Friday night at the end of September when some friends and I went out together, had a few drinks, and made our way through a few of our favorite bars here in Morgantown.

A Night’s Drinking With Friends
There is a neat little bar in Morgantown called Jay’s Getaway that specializes in imported and limited run beers (as well as plenty of offerings from smaller breweries around the states). By the end of our time there, we end up with ltos of interesting bottles and glasses on the table. This quick sketch was my attempt at capturing some of that variation in bottle and glass shapes and sizes.
