Coffee and Chocolate Swiss Roll

I spend most of my life in my bedroom. I was sitting in my chair having a rest with a coffee and a brown striped jumper in front of me put me in mind of a chocolate Swiss Roll. I thought the next time I have an hour and I’m going to paint coffee and cake on a bit of board. Here it is.

I quickly painted in the general shapes of a coffee cup and thought I’ll finish it when I have an hour to spare (though I’ve always thought there’s no such thing as spare time or money.) The following evening I was sat at my desk and an hour-long programme started on the television, Mariella Frostrup with a documentary about the menopause. I thought to myself, “I’m going finish this painting and sign it as the credits roll up in an hour’s time.” I got started and it was soon done. I put a straw in the cup as I use one to blow bubbles into the coffee to add extra froth.

I used three or four colours from tubes from Poundland. It actually took 62 minutes to finish and I signed it as the news at 10pm was starting. The next morning I varnished it and its now rotting in the spare bedroom with many others. It can be on your wall for £7846.
