Ice Cubes

Nothing signifies better a hot day than an ice cool drink.

As a diversion from my usual people paintings, some photographs I had taken while on a cruise ship lead to the development of this contemporary 16 x 20 inch still life oil painting.

Two abandoned beach chairs stand with a small table between them. The table supports five glasses containing full and partially finished iced drinks. The colors combined with the ice, bring out the heat.

What happened to their owners? Maybe they are soaking in a nearby pool or the ocean.
