Chipped Cup

Painting with Collage on Panel,40x30”, 2021

Saturdays are the best days. You can find me with my handsome adult son sitting in the bohemian styled backyard of our favorite coffee shop. I always bring my tiny sketchbook and we talk and get caught up with the week. Love it. This coffee shop is a well known spot in Harlem, New York called, “The Chipped Cup.” Like Bonnard, I do a rough sketch and then back in the studio I use my memory to fill in the colors and absent shapes. Working this way, the colors are always so much better than the real thing.
