Sistahs Fiestaware Party DSDF week 23-24

"Coffee Clutch" 9x12 watercolor
It was hard for me to take this challenge too seriously for some reason lol But I love the word "sistahs" so I decided to use Fiestaware to rhyme the word with hahaha! Actually my original concept was a full sheet watercolor on Yupo but I just couldn't get my supplies together on time and the 8x10 study I did for it fizzled within 15 minutes (too small).

So here is my contribution to DSDF week 23-24 challenge with Karin Jurick! One can only imagine what these sistahs from different muthas were are ranting about. Maybe it's the last season of The Bachelor and how Jason proved to be just another shortsighted man who was absent when they were distributing class! Bleeghhh I'm glad I didn't see the whole season and decided to just peak into the last show ;)

  6. Really fun-- Great coffee cups (I'm very fond of coffee cups). The mannequin on the bottom left has definitely had too much expresso-- those eyes will be wide open all night!

  9. I don't know what you are talking about, but this is an interesting work. Looks like each coffee cup represents the personality of each model. lol Maybe I'm wrong, but I like the painting!
