For those who chimed in that we may have bagged out on the long-deserted Xmas Countdown, we are back for more during the last three days of our Mummers/New Year’s hiatus. In searching for a theme for THREE, the cognac has, alas, kicked...so we’ll turn to a certain French elderberry liqueur that was the subject of a painting from OFF THE WALL neophyte (no more!) LAUREN DOYLE. Joining fellow UNDER $100 stars Cyn Why, winner of the Mary-Rowe Memorial Jury Prize, and veteran Betty MacDonald as the artists to sell out sets of four works, Lauren enjoyed a smashing debut with her watercolors varnished onto wood backings. The artist often portrays branded beverages, but trust us: if you happen to be a gallery inside a bar, you just know this still life and a companion piece of a crushed can of PBR had fans galore!
