This is a repost from February of ’23, but I used a different watercolor, and no, it’s not a whiskey painting…

Whiskey Painters

4×5 inch
masterpieces
paints
were carried
in a small
Anacin tin
folding brush
completed
the ensemble

table in the bar
the painter’s
brush dipped in
a half-full
shot glass
Jameson
won’t mind
for art’s sake

vibrant colors
brushed on
honeyed with
aged Irish
Kentucky
or Tennessee
little masterpieces
exchanged

We’re all
welcome to try
Whiskey-colored
masterpieces
landscapes
portraits
abstracts
sounds pretty
daunting so I
guess I won’t
be flaunting
much
