portrait of a coffee loving artist

 watercolor and ink

“Fueled by [her] inspiration, 
[Jenn] ran across the room to steal the cup of 
[hazelnut] coffee 
the bookshelf had taken prisoner. 
Lapping the [creamy nutty] brew like a hyena, 
[she] tossed the empty cup aside
[deeply relieved that there were 3 more cups waiting]
[She] then returned to the chair to continue 
[her] divine act of creation. 
Hot blood swished in [her] head 
as [her] mighty [brush] stole across the [canvas].” 
― adapted from a quote bRoman Payne

    I loved the interview you did with her! Very interesting to know a little bit more about you. The paintings that go with the interview are beautiful. Thank you for sharing!

  2. Lovely piece! Made me laugh, as I often dip my brush into my coke or coffee when I am painting, and have been known to drink the paint water....Valerie

  5. Haha! So fun and silly! I must admit hazelnut is not my thing, but I will further admit I recently picked up some Bailey's toffee almond cream for my weekend coffee. :)

  13. I stumbled across your blog whilst looking for distractions from the current drawing (as you do) ... So funny! and so apt (not only for me, judging by all the previous comments from coffee swilling artists) :-)

    Look forward to more of your lovely paintings (and humour)

  14. I used to love coffee, but can't drink it because of migraines. But I PAINT with it. I have started a new piece using coffee-- LOL. So I can still sit and enjoy the aroma without getting a headache. LOL.
