Waking Waltz is a limited edition giclée by Michael Godard. Waking Waltz reimagines Michael Godard's signature liquid-in-motion style around coffee rather than cocktails.
It's a favorite for music themed wall art and studio and lounge decor, drawing on Godard's own background as a working musician before he turned to painting full time.
About Waking Waltz
Waking Waltz reimagines Michael Godard's signature liquid-in-motion style around coffee rather than cocktails. A dark splash of coffee and a stream of pouring white cream twist together in mid-air above a plain white cup and saucer, taking the shape of two dancers caught mid-turn. The cream arcs down from an unseen pitcher at the upper right and feeds the swirl below, while the coffee splash doubles as the cup's contents cresting upward, a visual pun that turns an everyday pour into a duet. Set against a stark white background with no other props, the piece relies on precise fluid rendering rather than the bar and casino imagery found across much of Godard's catalog, a reminder of the range his bold, high-contrast style can cover.

About Michael Godard
Long before Michael Godard picked up a paintbrush professionally, he was a working musician, spending years as a drummer in Las Vegas bands until he was nearly thirty years old. That musical background gives a piece like Waking Waltz, with its sense of rhythm and movement, a foundation that goes beyond visual composition alone. Godard has always thought like a performer as much as a painter, and the timing and exaggeration in his work owe as much to years on stage as to his formal art training.
