Mi Mate

Mate is an Argentinean tradition, is a hot herbal tea, drank from this container made from gourds or wood. It could also be made of metal, mine is wooden with a metal trim at the bottom.  I didn't know what to paint and my mate is always around.  Just a very loose, sketchy painting with a limited palette.

Oil on linen.  6 x 8
