In this painting, I’ve used a touch of naivety and a clear figurative style to capture a simple moment of morning solace. My use of acrylic lends a dreamy quality, as if the steam from the coffee blends with the thoughts of the young woman depicted. I wanted to express a sense of quiet reflection and the personal sanctuary of the morning. This artwork will infuse any space with a serene, contemplative energy, perfect for starting one’s day.
