Vise grips getting a grip on vice.......
To me, a nice glass of Merlot is a great vice.
In order to prevent a drinking problem, i.e. dropping the drink, a pair of vise grips could be employed to get a secure grip on your vice. The danger is, this could crush the glass and cause a worse problem than ever. :lol: :lol:

John 2:9 the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside 10 and said, “Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now.”

  1. You are a brave man to work through your vices/vises where the whole world can see. My favorite part of this painting is that splash of reflected red light on the grips. Nicely done!

  2. Love the way you think Dean! I also love the way you show the wine away from the glass on the top right side of the glass. It lends to the thickness of the glass itself and when combined with light plays tricks on the eyes. Well done!
