Jack Daniel’s Sinatra Select and Fuente Opus X Lost City 14 x 12 Painting by artist Michael John Valentine.
This artwork presents a dark cinematic still life built around Jack Daniel’s Sinatra Select whiskey and Arturo Fuente OpusX “Lost City” cigar. evoking luxury, ritual, and smoke-filled reflection.
At the center , the Sinatra Select bottle rises like a glowing monument, its amber tones lit dramatically against the Fuente Opus X cigar band blended abstract in the shadowy background. The etched label and signature styling radiates old world elegance and legacy- an unmistakable nod to craftmanship, patience, and timeless American heritage. The whiskey’s warm glow reflects subtly off the surface below, grounding the composition in richness.
To the right, a short rocks glass cradles whiskey and aa single golden ice cube, catching the light like molten gold. The glass symbolizes pause and indulgence-an intimate moment of savoring rather than excess.
Across the bottom, stretched horizontally, lies the Fuente OpusX Lost City Cigar, its band crisp and regal. Wisps of smoke spiral upward and across the frame, binding all elements together. The smoke becomes almost impressionistic in style with hints of sparkle subtly visible.
The background feels fractured and abstract, with hints of warm ember reds and weathered textures, enhancing the sense of an underground lounge or private moment after hours. Light and shadows battle for dominance, giving the scene a moody, noir-like intensity with suggestions of why Opus X is revered.

Hello My name is Michael John Valentine and I have been involved making art for over 55 years. I started off at 10 years old at an art institute in Ohio and completed my education at Kent State University with a Bachelors of Fine and Professional Arts Degree.
I love the way acrylic paints set up vs the long dry time of oils. Canvas is my go to mixed media surface since it lets me gallery wrap or send out my work in a tube.
I have a studio and gallery in Cornelius North Carolina Lake Norman.
Mixed Media suggests that photography, canvas and acrylics all meet up for original abstract works of art.
It is not framed because it goes in a protective glassine sleeve and ships in a heavy duty tube. This process assures you that it arrives undamaged . By shipping this way you can take it to a framing shop and have it mounted and framed to your liking. A certificate of authenticity accompanies this acrylic painting.
