There are few things quite as comforting as a good cup of coffee.

That first delicious sip, the warmth of the cup in your hands and the pleasure of taking a moment out of a busy day.

Empty Coffee Cup is a small original painting created in a coffee shop while I was enjoying a wonderfully refreshing and stimulating brew.

A little coffee break

I love painting everyday life.

Sometimes the most ordinary objects make the most interesting subjects. A cup of coffee, for example, can represent so much more than a drink.

It might be a moment of peace before the day begins, a lively conversation with a friend or a well-deserved break from work.

And, of course, an empty cup is often the sign of a particularly good coffee!

I painted this little artwork using acrylic paint and Caran d'Ache Luminance coloured pencils on cardboard, responding to the colours, shapes and atmosphere around me.

Finding beauty in the ordinary

I believe there is beauty everywhere, if only we take the time to notice it.

Painting from life encourages me to slow down and look at familiar things with fresh eyes.

An ordinary coffee cup becomes a fascinating arrangement of shapes, colours and light, but it also carries the memory of a particular moment.

That is what I love about painting. It allows me to capture something fleeting and give it a life of its own.

A little reminder that even the simplest pleasures deserve celebrating.

A painting for coffee lovers

Measuring 16 × 11 cm, Empty Coffee Cup is a small, cheerful original artwork, full of character.

It would look lovely framed in a kitchen, breakfast room, coffee corner or alongside other small paintings.

It would also make a thoughtful gift for a coffee lover, a café enthusiast or someone who appreciates the pleasures of everyday life.

A little painting to brighten your day, preferably accompanied by a very good cup of coffee.
