In Vino Vanitas

The wine glass was full, but now it's empty.
At 24x36, I believe this is the largest work I've ever done.
A vanitas painting uses symbolism to depict the brevity and possibly even the futility of life. For more information on vanitas paintings, click here.

    Good reflections in the silver pitcher. I like the broken glass. Very nice and good interpretation of the challenge.
