Cuppa Joe

5 x 7 oil. This is #5 of 7 in the small paintings project I'm working on. I'm please with how the coffee cup turned out & think I managed to pick up highlights and shadows. The steam may need to be re-worked at some point. I re-worked it several times already and am still not sure I like it. For now, though, I'm letting it stay as is.

About Me

My original love was the performing arts. I grew up dancing, and it was my dream to be a professional ballet dancer. That was not to be so I turned to other forms of creativity. It's only been within the past few years that I discovered painting. I'd forgotten how much I loved drawing as a child. Maybe this is a passion re-awakened! I'm a self-taught artist and always looking to learn new techniques. One of the things I've always classified myself as is a "perpetual student". I love learning, and I love experimenting with new techniques. For me, this is one of the best parts of art; experiencing new things is more important to me than the finished piece. So you never know what I'll end up with. Hope you'll enjoy the experience too!
