Drinking Coffee Elsewhere: Orange on Red


Red, Orange.
Orange on Red?


Hold on, the artist cried,
Hold on to the orange,
hold on to the red!

Red on Orange?
No, Orange on Red,

Mark Rothko
said!

Leave the rest of the world orange,
but paint this town orange on red!

Images captured in Venice

The coffee was served at
"Il Santo Bevitore"
(The Holy Drinker)
Calle Zancani, Cannaregio 2393a
