HANNAH KILBY ▪️ Vibrant food and landscape paintings

So, I met this terrific lady named Diane, at Artist Project, and she really wanted to take home my painting Indulgence.

However, I’d literally just learned that the painting had been accepted into a huge art competition so the painting was marked as “on hold” and wouldn’t be available until I knew the outcome of the competition months later in September.

She was disappointed, but asked if I’d ever explore painting something similar. My answer was yes.

But what does that pie painting have to do with lime margaritas?

Well, in the process of getting that new pie painting organized, Diane also commissioned a painting for her friend’s birthday. Her friend is a huge fan of lime margaritas, so I made some drinks and set them up on a couple of different fabric backgrounds and sent her a ton of reference photos, she landed on this one!

Which by the way, this isn’t my first margarita rodeo 🍸🐎 I think I have a collection of almost 20 cocktail paintings which are now available as prints on my website haha.

Anyways, fast forward months later, I didn’t win the art competition, but serendipitously, Diane couldn’t stop thinking about Indulgence and she’d concluded earlier that commissioning something similar just didn’t have that spark for her. So when my painting became available again, it very quickly had a new, beloved home to go to ❤️

Thank you so much Diane, it was such fun painting some more margaritas and finding a terrific home for my pie painting, Indulgence.

You can find prints of both paintings on my website, along with a huge new print release of over 30 new fine art paper and stretched canvas prints.
