I bought these little cups and saucers at the cafe (now defunct) downstairs from my previous studio. I love the yellow, periwinkle and rose cups with turquoise accents. What a challenge to paint though, because the colors are slightly muted but still saturated. Why am I doing so many coffee themed Daily Paintings? Certainly not because they're in demand :). I am challenged by the shift in elipses as your eye hits the rim of the cup, the base of the cup, the saucer top - throw in a handle, and it's a morning's eye exercise! There's that and I love good coffee!
One of your best. You have a way with this subject.
ReplyDeleteOh, and it wasn't the same cup I saw on the other blog ;)
YEH!!! the header looks great...bet you are already thinking about what to put up there next!
ReplyDeleteYES! Debbie - thanks for being the first I'd seen with the new 'image header' - don't worry, I'll give you the credit!
ReplyDeleteAnd, thanks, Mar, yes, different cup!
Kelley, I love your ellipses! Yes, I thought my latest bowl painting would be easy but those shifting - shifty- ellipses got the better of me. This little painting of yours is perfect! Every part of it looks just right. Love your refreshing colors and lively brush strokes.
