Inspiration

In A Second Cup of Coffee, a woman joyfully dives headfirst into a coffee cup—an image that is both humorous and oddly relatable to anyone who has ever needed “just one more cup” to face the day. This whimsical and surreal composition captures the emotional dive we all take into comfort, routine, and caffeine. The bold reds and exaggerated gesture are signature Lively—witty, vivid, and narrative-driven.

This very painting served as the initial spark for the Coffee Table Art Book: A Second Cup of Coffee, setting the tone for a collection of contemporary works exploring our personal and cultural connection to coffee.
