Morning Coffee at Java Hut – Giclée Prints

Morning Coffee at Java Hut - Giclée Prints are now available. Click here for more information. Java Hut is a funky coffee bar located in Mapua, New Zealand. It is open every day and a meeting point for the locals who appreciate seriously good coffee and a lovely chat.

The painting shows the local crowd that meets regularly in the early morning to have a coffee before going for a walk along the waterfront. In this case it is winter and the sun hasn't come up yet.
