Painting created, completed, and signed by Artist JJ Burner in June of 2016. This painting was inspired by an event that had taken place in my life. I was told I was a controlling person because I wanted someone close to me to quit their drinking. So with the frustration I had felt I created a painting of what I could see. I saw someone I loved and cared for drowning in alcohol, with no way out. The seal of the bottle is still intact. That was the alcohol's control, the addiction. Hearing constant excuses of almost and that was not my intent, I had the hand barely out of the alcohol reaching out as if to represent an"Almost" moment. The label on the alcohol is a symbol most recognize. I wanted to portray that as the alcohol saying "Fuck You"to the drinker and the loved ones of the drinker. In short that is where this piece came from why I created it. The important message behind this piece for me was no matter what I will not tolerate a person to drink and drive or be a witness to their destruction. The original has been sold.
