The
Cocktail
Series

five paintings. five evenings. five reasons to stay.

In Vancouver, summer takes its time showing up. You wait through months of rain and then one day it just stays — warm enough to eat outside, light until nine, no reason to rush home.

A lot of my best memories from those summers are pretty simple. Sitting with friends, drinks on the table, talking about nothing and everything.

Each piece is a drink that meant something.
