Completed After The Bottle ca. 12.50am

[Mark S]

After The Bottle ca. 12.50am is a piece which started out as a tribute to my coal mining fore fathers.
Obviously it owes some credit to Andrea's After The Battle but the rest is Model Cellar's Molly Maguires Irish immigrant coal miner bust, sculpted by Carl Reid.
But after some extensive research with older family members it soon became quite apparent that any depiction of a real Bellbird coal miner would look more like this~

Hello Mark, Was wondering how you were going to use that wiskey bottle. The "shiner", along with the bottle, really set the mood for this rugged looking miner. Great work Mark. Regards, SG
