So . . . I think we're done here.  I mean . . . I could continue to fiddle all day long with this thing, but at some point you have to ask yourself, "have I said enough to get my point across?"  I think I have.

The title seems to be a bit obvious, albeit boring, but here's a little backstory that lets you in on my private joke:  Earlier this week I picked up my first pair of bifocals from the optician!  So as you can SEE (ha, ha) . . . "coke bottles" has a double meaning for me.  I shall always remember this painting fondly . . . as yet another significant step toward old-age!  Ha!  But really, it is SO delightful to see again!

Thank you for dropping by.

  1. Brilliant. I think your handling of the glass is quite brilliant! The lettering is awesome and I admire your steady handy.
    Love the story of your glasses. My own are truly "coke bottles" but with the newer lenses, no where near as heavy.
