Here a white coffee mug, small plant and bowl of oranges create an interesting arrangement that is painted with liveliness of spirit. Wonderful geometric shapes and simple direct lines come together, establishing a connection to beauty within simplicity.

The cheerful palette of colors casts a feeling of warmth and welcome, while the objects connect us to taste, touch and smell. Whether it's the scent of a fresh cup of coffee or the sweet, juicy tang of a fresh cut orange, it's the sensations that become delights and treasures to be savored much like a painting.

Inspiration for this oil painting came from noticing the simple things I treasure as I start my day. In acknowledging the experiences they offer I receive joy worth noting.

The painting is full of spirit and wonderful details in the brushwork. It's a painting that can be hung with or without a frame. This is a signed original and painted on a gallery wrapped canvas. See less
