I snapped a photo with my camera of my expresso cup sitting in a beam of sunlight on the tile table top one morning at Cafe Trieste in North Beach, San Francisco. Cafe Trieste had been my favorite coffee shop in this country. I discovered it back in '79 when I lived there. It hasn't changed since the poets, writers and artist's hung out there in the 1950s and '60s.
I am a tomato half hidden in the shadows. I am lying in wait just biding my time till I am needed.
You see that pin laying there on the table. Well that is my weapon. I
may seem weak but I am deadly when I need to be but honestly most can be
taken down with one little jab to the eye. Ok actually this is my day
off so all is safe.
I sit with my morning latte while posting this blog. Coffee - I love everything about it. The cups, the smell, the flavored fixin's, etc. I splurged last year and picked up a Nespresso machine, which makes the perfect latte - my morning drink of choice. I like to try new flavors and this morning I am trying some Almond Joy flavored creamer with my milk. It's nice with just a touch of flavor. Share your favorite morning drink of choice!

This painting is definitely me! I like a little coffee in my sugar:) The sugar cubes were fun to paint, full of so many different colors. Using my palette knife, I was able to get the sharp edges on some of the cubes and give it a little fun texture.

We don't really name our coffee cups, but this one is just so big and so red! I don't have any bright red creamers or tea cups, and wanted something really red. I also wanted to continue painting reflections, but, those on the object, not on the table.
