This watercolor is titled Coffee, and I made it back in 1997. It's 11x14 inches, It is part of my Fresh Finds collection—early work that I’ve been going through and releasing. At the time, I was experimenting a lot with color and storytelling through body language and composition. This piece feels a bit like a film still.
The scene shows two people sitting across from each other at a table, with tea cups and a metal tea pot between them. The woman on the left is turned slightly away, looking down, while the man on the right seems tense, maybe about to speak or make a move with his hand reaching toward a cup. I used loose washes and semi-transparent layering.
There's a geometric quality to the way the heads and arms are constructed—triangles, ovals, and rectangles loosely define the forms. The background, with its bright orange and red pattern, flattens out behind the figures, making the female figure pop forward.
This work ties into my early interest in genre scenes. Even though it was painted in ’97, you can already see how I was pulling in influences from old films and painting traditions that emphasize gesture and color over detail. I held onto this piece because it always felt like the beginning of something in my work—something about how people sit together when they’re not really “together.”
