"One More Cup of Coffee"

"Content may be and often is trivial. But I do not think that any person may pronounce either upon the weight or upon the triviality of an idea before its execution into a work of art."  -- Ben Shahn (1898-1969)
The "itty bitty" cup of coffee has become a "little" cup of coffee.

Here is the itty bitty:

The transition from a small painting, to a larger one is quite an interesting process. It seems the feeling needs to be conveyed in the larger painting, more than being the exact replica of the smaller painting...

I really like your martini series, and now you've expanded to coffee cups! I like this one, you did capture the feeling in the larger painting.

I really like your "little" cup of coffee!!! Very nice painting! Strong, bold strokes! Just needs cream and sweetener.
