Lazy Lounge Chair Coffee Beans

"Lazy Lounge Chair Coffee Beans" Watercolor (365) by Niya Christine

#1/365 paintings per day

Sometimes I wonder if the charm of coffee is that at the base of everything they are kind of lazy? They hang out on a tree in a tropical climate all their lives. Someone picks them and they become world travelers for a time… before we grind them to bits. Maybe they only get hyper from consumption. Maybe they miss their lazy lives.

…………………………..

Did I tell you how nervous and excited I am about painting every day? So excited I woke up at 3 a.m. ready to paint for January 1 2013. Seriously though, I need to work on light source in my next painting. Which is tomorrow. YAY!

ps: This painting’s base layer is a fine blend of Peet’s Sulawesi and Columbian. You can’t beat the Umber color or the coffee smell!

    Today I celebrate the laziness of coffee so that I may have additional energy to begin my day! I also celebrate the creative Niya Christine to provide entertainment and art in my life… you go girl! Happy New Year and a painting per day! xoxo

    Carolyn. I totally support coffee time laziness – it’s the best part of the day in my opinion and you do such creative and wonderful things with your day… so you go too! Also, as I change up the routine from journal writing to journal painting my coffee tastes that much better!

    Thank you for sharing your talent and humor to make life brighter. I’m lazily enjoying my coffee right now!

    Oh I’m so glad to hear that you are lazily enjoying your coffee. Such an important part of the day. I remember being surprised when my acupuncturist said to me: “You are one of the rare ones that coffee is good for—it grounds you.” So true. But I stick to one cup per day.
    ps: I’m delighted you stopped by. You have certainly made my life brighter. I’m happy I was able to return a smidgen of it back.
