Just a few months in the past, Hendrick’s Gin despatched over a bottle of their gin to my condo as a part of a PR reward. It’s no secret that I really like a finely-crafted gin. Additionally, gin is scrumptious. And I like it when there’s an alcohol supply – who doesn’t!

All through the pandemic / lockdown, I’ve been portray to maintain myself sane and I’ve been impressed by all types of issues. Quotations, a passage I learn in a e book, expressionist work, desires, vegetation, you title it. When this specific Hendrick’s Gin bottle arrived, it was accompanied by rose & cucumber illustrations as a result of the gin is meant to be infused with properly, rose and cucumber.

I assumed that was moderately odd. Who considered placing collectively rose AND cucumber? I like cucumber with my gin and tonic however I’m not significantly keen on rose. I wasn’t certain I used to be going to benefit from the gin till I made a drink for myself and was pleasantly stunned. I favored it!

My mind determined it was a good suggestion to attempt pink and inexperienced collectively on a portray. Just like my feeling odd in regards to the mixture of rose & cucumber, I’ve all the time been not sure of placing simply pink and inexperienced colours collectively on a canvas. I assumed it finest to start out on my mini-canvas, a 2.5 inches in diameter brooch. At worst, if it didn’t work out, I may merely paint over it.

The odd colour mixture labored out! After that I needed to {photograph} the brooch together with the gin bottle and the packaging in order that I may put up it on Instagram and make the brooch accessible on my on-line store. I made it clear that the mini-painting thought was not affiliated with the model in ay means – it was impressed by the gin however the model hadn’t requested me to do something.

One factor led to a different and after just a few weeks later, the model received in contact with me ( through their PR company ) and commissioned me to color one other related brooch impressed by the gin and expressed their intentions to buy each the brooches.

To say that I used to be thrilled, is an understatement. You see, that is the primary model ever that has commissioned me to create artwork! It was like a dream come true. EPIC.
