Coffee, by Henri Matisse

Coffee (1916):


by Henri Matisse, who died on November 3 in 1954 at the age of 84.

I had a birthday last month, and The Daughter gave me a lovely mug for Autumn:


along with some coffee and chocolates. Mine's more cozy and less exotic than Matisse's vision, but I always feel the desire for "cozy" when the weather is cold.

Please join the weekly blogger gathering at Bleubeard and Elizabeth's, and share a post with a drink in it.

  3. I've always loved Matisse, and this is beautiful. I had no idea he lived that long. For some reason, I thought he died in the 1920s. Shows how much I know about him. it's a beautiful painting though.

    I genuinely LOVE your cozy coffee mug and your chocolates and coffee you got from your daughter. You didn't let us know it was your birthday, so now I get to wish you a very belated birthday.

    Thanks for sharing the painting, your new and gorgeous mug, your chocolates, and coffee with us for T this Tuesday.

  10. Matisse is one of my favorite painters so I really appreciated this painting. But I am with you when it gets cold and wanting to be cozy. I even came home, made a cup of tea and started a fire in the fireplace as it is so dark and wet. Waiting to watch election results tonight and hoping for some good results. I think if I had those chocolates and that mug I would be munching and sipping by my fire for sure. Nice gifts. Hope your day is going well. Hugs-Erika

  13. Sorry I'm late. Tuesday is my busiest day and I don't get to see my computer until after 10 pm.
    Thank you for sharing the Matisse. I love his art.
    Your mug is really beautiful. And nice and big too. Most of all I love the chocolates. They look like the Dutch chocolates I used to eat (on special occasions of course) during my childhood in Holland.
    Happy belated T-Day and a happy belated birthday (you kept that quiet!),

  18. Love your Birthday mug and hope that you had a very Happy Birthday! I love Matisse's art. I saw a documentary about Matisse in his later years and how he created his 'scissor art' . Belated Happy T Day! Chrisx
