White Russian (homage a Lebowski), oil on panel, 15 in. x 10 in. SOLD |
Birth date: 1965
Origin: Unknown
In the summer of 2000, Laura and I made an impossible cultural
leap by leaving New York City and moving to a blueberry farm in Northwest
Indiana. The “off the grid” environment incubated one of our most creatively
prolific periods. When the nights got cooler we’d mix up White Russians and
burn old drawings in a large fire pit outside our back door. We were simply two
people, newly in love, all alone, discovering one another. To this day,
whenever I have a White Russian the images of those nights flood back to me and
make me smile.

Recipe:
- 1 ½ oz. Vodka
- 1 oz. Kahlua coffee liqueur
- 1 oz. cream
In a shaker half filled with ice cubes, combine the vodka and
Kahlua. Shake well and strain into an old-fashioned glass almost filled with
ice cubes. Layer the cream into the glass by pouring over the back of a bar
spoon.
My husband loves The Big Leboski, so we love this paINTING! YOU NAILED IT!!
