Original Coffee Magnolia Painting

This is an original painting painted entirely with coffee. Yes, coffee! I sketch out the lush magnolia blooms and leaves, and then use coffee (sometimes drip, sometimes instant) to paint it. It is rather challenging because I don't have my usual toolbox of colors -  I have to create this artwork using only values (lighter and darker shades of the same color). I very much enjoy the challenge, and I think it came out beautiful!

The artwork itself is approximately 8.5x11, and it is available for purchase matted to 11x14, signed in pencil in the bottom right. 

It will be shipped in protective cellophane sleeve and sturdy cardboard backing.
