Coffee with a Doll



Coffee with a Doll
This morning the coffee pot and cup proposed their intent to be a still life. Others noted a lack of interest drawing or painting only the two. They wanted more life and excitement for the still life today. A couple of oranges were suggested. There were a few in the studio waiting to be interviewed. Then the doll showed up, out of nowhere, as dolls always seem to do, and of course, got the part.
Those artists not mesmerized by the doll, took the oranges and a bottle of wine and created their own setting, in another part of the studio.
I of course stayed with the doll, mainly for the potential title.
But in time the doll wasn’t as colorful as expected. I admit my loyalty was tested. I ended up drawing the “Wine and Oranges” too.
