Original artwork description:

August 1st in Paraguay is a day when a superstitious traditional drink called Carrulim is consumed. August is the year of least productivity and harvest so taking a sip of this drink at the beginning of the month is said to ward off bad luck and give you a successful month against the odds. It's a mixture of Caña - an alcoholic beverage made from fermented cane sugar, Ruda - a plant of which you mix a few leaves into the drink, and Lemon, hence the name - Ca-Rru-Lim. I was asked to produce a couple of paintings for an exhibition to showcase this Paraguayan tradition for the World Rally Championship which came to Paraguay for the first time. Here is one of the pieces.
