Oil on canvasboard

8"x10"

First day of my circle challenge week, and ironically, it was the handle, not the actual circles, that gave me the most trouble - which is not to say that the circles are perfect, only that they didn't go to canvas kicking and screaming. I wound up quite pleased by the surface of the cup itself.

For those of you keeping track at home: yes, this is a different cup than the one I've painted twice before. I have two over-size mugs, because caffeine is important. (when i use this cup and steep my tea properly, I cannot see the bottom of the cup, and the spoon disappears after an inch and a half.)
