Sometimes I'm sufficiently drawn to a subject that painting it once simply won't be enough. There is plenty of satisfaction to be had from exploring how a different day, mood or technique can affect the interpretation and final results of a painting. In this case, the delightful hot beverage in the sexy orange, European cup just keeps calling me back for more.

This was a most delicious cup of malted hot chocolate, served outside on a rainy day at the Sunflower Cafe, but it could have been any one of a number of delicious hot beverages I have savored in my life. Cafe au lait, latte, cappuccino, machiatto, hot chocolate, drinking chocolate, sipping chocolate, cider, tea, coffee with cream......

Everything about this drink was enjoyable, as I partook after a short hike. The light was beautiful and I loved the bright orange cup and the glowing whipped cream, and my companionship. To me, a hot beverage served in a beautiful mug is a hand-warming, heart-warming and sometimes almost sacred experience, whether enjoyed in Europe, California, a favorite cafe or my own comfortable kitchen. Give me a good book, too, and I can't ask for more. Life is grand!
