All of my paintings here have cups in them: my father had a coffee shop up in Moorhead, Minnesota for 40 years - a very small place, but one of fraternity where the farmers and local professors would sometimes be waiting for him in 10 below weather to open at 6 AM.  The endless pot of Norwegian "egg coffee"  (where a whole egg is mixed with  ground coffee and  then added to boiling water and simmered for 20 minutes) was also a staple in my home.  So cups of coffee, memories around it and what the cup symbolizes have been very important  in my life.  Enjoy!
