The Pina Colada art presented here was created by Steve Simon from a staged still life for a series of drink art paintings. All of the major elements in the painting are physically connected or "touch" their neighbor from the beholder's vantage point. This is a typical still life tactic used to suggest integration of each element with the whole. In this tropical drink artwork the tactic is employed to connect the variety of tropical elements under the umbrella of the experience of enjoying a pina colada. Fresh fruit, colorful flowers, gentle music, windows opened to tradewind breezes, gentle waves lapping on white sands, calming ukelele music, and, of course, a drink parasol corroborate in a symphony of the senses, each seemingly uttering the phrase "relax and enjoy."

Pina colada is Spanish for strained pineapple. The cocktail is known as the official beverage of Puerto Rico. Pina coladas are sweet, rum-based cocktails made with light rum, coconut cream, and pineapple juice.

Pina Colada recipe:

To make a blended pina colada combine 3 oz. light rum, 2 tbsp coconut cream, and 3 tbsp of crushed pineapples in a blender with 2 cups of crushed ice. Blend briefly at high speed and strain into glass. They may also be served shaken with ice and are trypically garnished with a pineapple wedge and/or a maraschino cherry.

The image makes for an ideal piece of drink art for home, bar, or restaurant or as a souvenir to remind one of fond memories.
