Dusk Descends on Paulette's Dawn

Here's the painting of the empty bottle

In a process that has taken nearly five years, Paulette's bottle of Dawn dishwashing detergent is pretty much completely empty.

"It's pretty much completely empty, and it only took about 5 years," says Paulette with glee and guilelessness.  "I used it to clean my dishes, blue gooey stuff from insisde the bottle.  I turn it upside down and squeeze gently and it comes out and when water mixes with it, it makes bubbles.  The bubbles act as an emulsifier, lifting grease from my plates so that i can eat off plates that aren't greasy.  Sometimes when i put it down hard, the bottle, little bubbles blow out of it and float in the air."

To commemorate the occasion, Paulette made a painting of it, and that painting is now at auction on EBAY.
