I was incredibly excited and a bit intimidated when I agreed to partner up with Torrie Smiley for this year's RIP Show. She has an amazing portfolio, but I was determined to give it my best!

Out of all of her works I chose one of her coffee cup still life paintings - Morning Cup. I love my coffee! In my world, coffee is enjoyed not only in the morning but also in the evening. So I decided to flip the time of day in my Rip to reflect this idea.

Painted with Golden Acrylics on standard box canvas (sides painted black).
