Margaritas at 5:00!!

"MARGARITAS AT 5:00!!"

6 x 6

Stretched Canvas, Sides Painted
Watch for me on Etsy soon!

I'm dedicating this one to my friend, Judy, in Nashville who sends these awesome, politically pertinent, emails out under that tagline!  I think it is an especially appropriate painting for today, since I am leaving tomorrow to do my first 1/2 marathon and I will probably be needin' the 'ritas afterward!  Those green spheres in the painting aren't key limes, though, but limequats -- a heavenly cross between a lime and a kumquat with the perfect balance of sweet and tart flavors.  They are very small, so 1/2 is perfect to pop into an iced tea or squeeze into some ice water.  Hmmm....or drizzle over shrimp on the barbie....or broiled salmon...or in a delicate vinaigrette to dress some crisp, bright greens.  Or wait!  Whipped into some rich vanilla custard for a pie....or....I think I might be crossing the line into food porn.  I'd better switch to more sedate food subjects!
