Well coffee fans, here comes another painting! Venus has just been born, emerging from the cold sea; what better time for a hot coffee? Her friends assist by blowing to cool it down a bit, and bringing a blanket to snuggle in. I will be completing this painting soon, along with the Tour de France one. Check back to see the results.
The ghosts you see here soon will become a boy handing a coffee to the racer, and 2 men watching from their table. Thanks for all your input and I’ll post the final version soon.
I’ve always wanted to experiment with tea as paint. Hooray for color! This was a 20 minute project and I’m definitely excited by the potential. I’d love some feedback- do you know more colors of tea I should try? Is there a blue tea? How about a more black/gray tea?
In February I had a show up at Dudley’s Bookstore in downtown Bend, OR. Here’s the upstairs reading room area:

Last week I went to Seattle to hang coffee art in Irwin’s Bakery and Cafe and The Green Room. Continue reading…
Anyone read Greek? I’m flattered that this magazine in Greece did a feature on my coffee creations, though I can’t read it!
Here’s a new painting in progress. I’m taking suggestions; should the biker be receiving a coffee from a bystander? Should there be a cafe table with people enjoying coffees while watching the race? Or should I just finish it as in the reference photo? Vote quickly and check back to see which idea won!
“Ophelia’s Coffee Break” is now available. She’s about 16×24″, inspired by Waterhouse’s “Ophelia”. This original is selling for $650; contact me if you’re interested. We also have prints and cards available in the store.
I guess it would be more correct to say a trivia question’s answer. A friend told me she heard this on the NPR show “The Splendid Table” the other day. If you want to listen, click here. It’s in the trivia section in the middle of the show.
Yesterday I took more art to Green Plow Coffee Roasters, downtown Redmond, OR. Stop in if you missed the show at COCC.
Passing through Redmond, Oregon anytime in December? Stop in at new and charming Green Plow Coffee Roasters and enjoy some coffee and art. On Saturday, Dec. 5th, I’ll be adding the new art from the COCC gallery.
