Description: James C. Crow was born in Scotland, and trained in chemistry at Edinburgh in the 1820s. He spent years learning from Scotland's master distillers, before making his way to America in 1835. At Grier’s in Kentucky, Crow applied scientific methods to bourbon production. Using thermometers, hydrometers, specific gravity, and pH balance checks, he standardized the sour mash process, resulting in high quality whiskey. Crow moved on to Oscar Pepper Spirits in 1838, where his whiskey was sold as “Old Crow," and became the bourbon by which all others were judged. The brand remained in the hands of Oscar Pepper after Crow died in 1856, and thankfully, Crow had trained a distiller who continued to make it with his method.
Description: Another addition to my series of drinks still life paintings, this one based on the blues song of the same name. For the setup I chose a tumbler glass for the bourbon, a whisky glass for the Scotch and a classic stein glass for the beer, my preferences for drinking each of these. Unlike my previous Scotch paintings, this one was painted solely with Acrylics rather than Oils. The reason for this is firstly I've begun to use airbrush in most of my work now and I use acrylic paints for that, and secondly due to the drying time on these pieces it can usually take my a year or longer to eventually finish one, so I've begun focusing on acrylics for these now.
