Artwork description:

We all have our coffee or tea rituals. I love my little press and a mug of coffee. In this image, I created a still life of a lot of my favorite things...coffee, mugs, flowers in a vase, pears, a stack of books! These things make me happy. I hope this image makes you smile and think about your rituals!

This is a hand-printed, hand-colored linocut, and this is how I made it: I drew my image onto linoleum, carved out the negative space, printed the image onto printing paper, and colored the image with watercolor and gouache. Each print/painting is unique and original...one of a kind!

Materials used:

linoleum, carving tools, printing paper and ink, watercolor and gouache
