CHESS-KNIGHT MARTINI

CHESS-KNIGHT MARTINI (FOR 007) 2001 by Roopa Dudley (Sold!)

My husband is a huge fan of Astronomy. I like it too. I wanted to paint something celestial for a change. My husband also loves Martini...the dirty kind with Oilves. I cannot stand it. Way too bitter in taste for me. Hard Apple Cider is as far as I go when it comes to alcohol. 

So just out of sheer fun of combining the celestial bodies with Martini I created this painting. It is the first in my series of Alcoholic Drinks. This drink is fit for Bond - James Bond "Shaken NOT Stirred".

A close friend of mine who lives in Severna Park, MD who always preferred Impressionistic Style Paintings - fell absolutely in love with this one and bought it along with two more in this series. She got it framed and now it is beautifully displayed in her Game Room in the Basement. How awesome is that? Can you imagine hanging something like this in your Game Room?

I have also noticed that most of my friends have a Love-Hate relationship with my Art. Most don't like my obsession with Chess-Pieces in my Paintings. The others don't like the Gears Of Time in my new Steampunk inspired paintings. The sad thing about Obsession is that it is something you cannot just walk away from. We have Alcohol Addicts, Sex Addicts, Drug Addicts, TV Addicts, Computer Addicts and I happen to be a Chess Addict. There is no cure but to continue producing works of Art that are meaningful to me. The key is finding people who would appreciate Chess as much as I do. All in God's Time.
