I'm a warm beverage kind of girl. I drink a cup of hot Chai Tea with milk every morning of the year--even if it's sweltering outside--and I love a good decaf latte or pot of herbal tea. Basically, if it's hot and not too sweet, I'll give it a try and probably like it. So, when I came across Lori Larusso's beverage paintings, I was immediately smitten. They're beautifully painted (obviously) and her use of bright, bold background colors is striking. Also, anyone who has ever tried to paint a drinking vessel (I have) knows how hard it can be to get all of the circular lips, bottoms, handles, and saucers just right perspective-wise, but she nails it every time (because she's a pro). Lets take a look, shall we? Here are some of my favorite pieces from this collection... Totally great, right!? Don't they make you want to sit down with a cuppa something steamy right now? Glad I was writing this post while sipping my morning tea--it made these paintings all the sweeter ;)
