Gazing over the rim of the dry martini, Thomas Arvid re-creates the perspective of a barfly enjoying the pairing of two of today's most tasteful pleasures. Lingering over details like the reef fraction of the stirrer and the distortion through the glass, we can savor the equally tasteful pleasure of Arvid.

Thomas Arvid often starts painting at a charity events where intrigued viewers watch as he turns a blank canvas into a beautiful medley of bottle and glass. From this initial laying in of color, Arvid works for weeks or months, painstaking applying layer upon layer of oil to achieve his final depth of color and refinement. With this technique Arvid achieves an unparalleled level of detail and richness of color
