FInish for Derby Day Parties


Happy May Day folks. These derby horses came together fairly easy and the incorporation of the racing colors really made the image pop more.
I was able to spend a little extra time to make sure the grill surface (with unidentified food) and the color of the wine inside the bottle looked right. Earlier on in the process, I decided not to worry about the horses lack of ability without opposable thumbs -- just float the wine glass and the BBQ skewer -- that justified my inclusion of the oven mitt.
Enjoy!
