Description

This was originally a photograph I tool of a mug of coffee and cake that I had ordered at one of my favorite coffee shops (Max Brenner) on Manly Wharf in Sydney Australia. I have created a semi abstract to abstract image of this photo through the use of digital medium and love the final effects here with colors, patterns and textures, creating an exciting image with all kinds of potential.

The coffee in the original image was a soy cuppuccino and the cake was orange and poppy seed cake, drizzled with chocolate on top of coffee and cake. Chocolate is a specialty with Max Brenner coffee shops, which are all around Sydney in various suburbs, so everything is drizzled with chocolate in one way or another. Love my trips on Sydney Harbour which I do frequently during the warmer weather. I live on the North West area of Sydney, so for me the easiest and most pleasurable way for me to get to Manly is by ferry; after catching trains to Circular Quay, which is a harbour terminal for all kinds of ferries, yachts and boats including there being an overseas shipping terminal there.

I mostly trip over the harbour to this cafe accompanied with a good book, music on my mp3 player, as well as timing my trips at sunset time, because sunsets on Sydney Harbour are glorious and even if it's a cloudy day; the moods of the harbour always intrigue and inspire me. The colors and effect in this image speak to me of the multifaceted experiences I have every time I travel to this coffee shop, which depend on so many external influences that sometimes surprise me in one way or another. Always a relaxing and laid back experience ergo the relaxed techniques and effects used in this image. Enjoy and thanks for visiting!
