Omnivore - When the paint is coffee
Artist Gates Luck exhibits unusual work at the Ansley Starbucks.
The Ansley Starbucks has been exhibiting work by local artists.
Each show lasts a month and the latest is the work of Gates Luck. Each piece says something about coffee. My favorites are the three paintings over the service area, which you can see close-up on Luck's website (click on "coffee paintings").
These are are literally painted with coffee on watercolor paper and, besides demonstrating great technique, are full of humor.
He's also hung a series of oil paintings like the ones at right.
