Long Black

Simplicity amongst too many options. This is how I like my menus and how I like this work against the collection. She was the last of the collection, a momentous moment and the group felt so much more complete with the fortifier that is this artwork. A long black, a respectable drink, no frills, no froth, no pretension. Is there a difference between a long black and Americano? Is there a difference between asking for the cheque or the bill? This is the third birds-eye view in the collection, these work as the anchors of the artworks. When I started drawing in this hyper-realistic style, years ago, it felt, almost as a rule, that all subjects had to be photographed from birds-eye. It felt like if I were going to convince the viewer that what I was drawing was “real” I would have to use the paper as the placemat for the object. I think this notion still holds for me, as there’s something more pleasing about viewing the cup flat on - the paper is the table, fooled you. Complimentary US shipping.
