Tequila Sunrise, colorful agave cactus painting by Barry Tate Gallery of Fine Art - acrylic paintings and watercolor paintings

TEQUILA SUNRISE
The agave cactus (the pointed blue and green plants in the foreground) is common throuought Mexico. The blue agave is used to make tequila while the green is used for mescal and raicilla (rhy - see - ah).
While painting this interpretive style painting, I intentionally sipped some good quality tequila to get properly into the painting! Then I splashed some more into the wet paint which creates some really interesting abstraction effects. And, helped name the painting.

ORIGINAL PAINTING:

Image size 18x 22 " acrylic on canvas. (total canvas size 20x24") This is an unmounted canvas that can be wrapped as a 16x20 clean-edge if desired.
A clean-edge painting has the painting extend fully over the edges and can be hung "as is", or optionally framed.

GICLÉE PRINT
Giclée prints are the best type of reproductions available today.
They are supplied with a double acid free mat and foam backing board. All you need is a common 16x20" frame.
Mat options are:
    silver gray with dark blue inner mat - nice traditional look that fits well. A mid to dark colored frame looks best
    dark blue on dark blue - dramatic and bold look, very powerful. Best with a light colored frame like metallic or wood.
    white on white - traditional gallery choice, classy and elegant. Goes with all decors. Best with a mid to medium dark frame.
