Oil on linen mounted on panel - 6" x 8"In honor of Mardi Gras, I have painted the bartender at Tujaque's Restaurant on Decatur Street in New Orleans mixing up one of the Big Easy's most famous cocktails - the Sazerac. Made with rye whiskey, bitters and absinthe, it is an acquired taste. I just happen to have the ingredients on my bar so I may just have to make myself one. Laissez les bons temps rouler!
Sazerac cocktail:

Thanks, Diana. It's been a while since I painted a human being.
Aw, Thanks, Brenda.
