A Deviation in Surfaces: Daily Painting #10 - Homage to Alphonso Mucha

Bottle Front: Homage to Alfonso Mucha "Amethyste
Tonight's artwork features an unconventional format....the wine bottle.  This work is painted with acrylic on gessoed glass, and features the figure of a woman somewhat provocatively positioned in an evening gown tending to her hair.   This is based, rather loosely on an advertisement Mucha did in  1900 for Amethyste with a similar figure.  The photo right shows the back of the bottle, with the text "Homage to Alphonso Mucha".  While not really "fine art", I have created a number of unique individual pieces that could be considered painted sculpture.  The artwork isn't really finished until all sides have been painted (and I haven't done to bottom side yet) and the piece has been completely sealed.  I am planning to do a whole 'set' of images that relate to the work of Alphonso Mucha. 
Back side of bottle with both text and texture.

 Just for fun, I am showing my mantle at home will this newest work along with five other completely unique designs.   What do you think?
