"Do Lipton employees take coffee breaks?"
— Steven Wright

 Hmm...good question, Steven? In my opinion, unless you are Brittish, tea breaks would be just plain wrong!  

Call it addiction, but I can't function without multiple breaks for cup after cup of rich strong aromatic Hazelnut or creamy French Vanilla. Lewis Black sums it up best, I like coffee because it gives me the illusion that I might be awake. I get up at 4:15 a.m. to walk my dog and swim, I'll take all the life-giving, ground from beans, rich dark liquid gold you can throw at me to keep my illusion going.

                  BOOK COVER NEWS

In my 9-5 business as a graphic designer, I am blessed to design a lot of book covers for a University Press. Today's painting is the cover of an upcoming novel of short stories by author Michael Lieberman. How fun it is to be able to paint illustrations for book covers here and there, especially when it features brimming cups of hot coffee. Mmm, can you smell the aroma?

                    ART SHOW NEWS
More good news! Last weekend I was awarded a 2nd Place Ribbon Professional Oil Division in the Conroe Art League's Spring Show for my painting "Home is Where Your Hat Lies." Bottoms up!

Thanks for breaking with me today, even if you're a tea bagger...tea-hee-hee.  : O

"Well, all day long at school I hear how great Marcia is at this or how wonderful Marcia did that! Marcia, Marcia, Marcia! " 

~Jan Brady

My daughter, Allie named this painting perfectly! Obviously, there is so much sibling rivalry going on among this group. Middle-daughter magenta Jan is squeezed in between her two showier sisters, Marcia and Cindy, adorned in attention getting orange. While their bright orange dresses are truly stealing the show, too much of a good thing would be boring. Jan's unique presence adds variety as she complements the lemon slices and soft yellow table top. 

Doesn't she look like a referee trying to break up a fight? Growing up as one of seven Dazey (pronounced daisy) sisters, I can totally relate to these feisty tulips. Totally out numbered, my two brothers never stood a chance. 

Thank you for viewing my floradoras.
