Coffee Mug As Artist Tool

One necessary tool when painting or creating assemblages is my Montreal coffee mug. I have other mugs, but this one is my favorite.

Favorite scenic painting spot?

Although Montreal is just a magical train ride away, (aren't they all?), I haven't been back since childhood. So I pour my first cup of espresso, grab my bags and board the mysterious 'Montrealer' for a joy ride. I travel to unseen places - with great scenic vistas - while I paint. 'Express' time travel is a wonderful thing. Bet we hold the same boarding pass whatever grounds we choose.

I can't put my mug on the table near my paints or I accidentally use it as the water jar!; April 24, 2012 at 3:59 PM
Robin Kent said...: Ooooo...I know what that feels like, Carole! I've also done the opposite which gives another tactile surprise: dunked my brush deep into what I thought was my rinse jar and sunk it up to my fingers into a jar of thick paint.; April 24, 2012 at 4:42 PM
