Vintage Coffee Roses by Maree Clarkson
Coffee and watercolour on Bockingford 300gsm watercolour paper
- Oh, my love’s like a red, red rose,
That ’s newly sprung in June;
Oh, my love’s like the melody
That’s sweetly played in tune.
- Robert Burns
Some more painting with coffee, inspired by Barbara Glatzeder’s beautiful art, this time with a bit of Cadmium Red added – the rose on the left is from my garden and the one on the right is done from an inverted image of one of Elizabeth Kendall’s roses on FaceBook. (Hope you don’t mind Liz!)
Also see some of Brenda Dow’s coffee art, as well as Elizabeth Kendall’s Barefoot in the Rain
- Alma’s Review : “Morning coffee in the rose garden can only be surpassed by a glass of wine in the evening garden when their scent is at its strongest. This lovely image has a hint of the earth beneath their feet and the dying of the light. Red or white?”

Maree, jou vindingrykheid slaan my stom!!!! Do you realize how you inspire everyone here and all over the world? This is so beautifully done! I don’t mind at all for you using my roses, I feel very honoured! (and I think Alma can start writing poetry about this!)
Oh Liz! Thank you for your beautifully heart-warming comment! I, in turn, am being inspired by beautiful images and ideas from FB and RB, and beautiful words and comments like these here! And thank you for adding it to your favs!

Aaah, thank you Dot! I’m not normally one for roses, but the coffee and the prospect of a vintage look inspired me.

I life my morning cup to you, Maree. I think this is your best coffee yet!!
Wow, thanks for saying so Sally! Hope your morning coffee was equally good!
– Maree Clarkson
This is great! I am loving your coffee series! It is waking me up to the possibilities!
It really is great Ken, even if you just use it for shading, it makes a perfect contrast to the light parts of a painting… thanks for your lovely comment!
