| Painting Parodies:
The Starbucks Series
It all started in the Spring of 2004 while I was painting a copy of Vermeer's “Girl in a Red Hat.” I decided to do something silly, so I added a cup of coffee, a muffin and Starbucks logo to the painting. Since then I've painted more than twenty parodies featuring work by my favorite artists, and my favorite coffee. The paintings are my homage to works I admire, so I keep them true to the original compositions, while introducing my little twist. Issued as fine art Giclèes in a limited edition are the twenty most popular in 11" x 14" on deluxe archival watercolor paper (edition 50 ea), signed and numbered by me. They are also available in boxed sets of ten for $2100, or individually at $250.
