Donald Robertson’s Sketchbook 3 Previous Next My new book, Alcohol: A Love Story, recalls fond memories of my interactions with drink, presented as a collection of painted flashbacks. From my earliest days of pouring altar-boy wine, in the 70s, to my very recent introduction to a drink called “ranch water”—after a relocation to Dallas—it’s all in here. Half-painted, half-alphabetical musings, the book is a testament to “Don’t think, just paint.” The one exception to this rule happened when my son, who recently became a pool boy after college, mentioned that an Arnold Palmer with booze is called a “John Daly.” I had to paint that immediately. Cheers! (Alcohol: A Love Story can be purchased directly from the artist.) January 1, 2022
