Tea Party



My mother, sister and I decided to have an art show with a tea cup theme. Mum, Olga Neal, was inspired by spring flowers despite spring being late to her Nova Scotia home this year. This warm watercolor is titled "Tea and Daffodils."












I borrowed a tea cup from my neighbor which was originally light peach. As I painted with my usual strong pallet, the tea cup got redder and redder. The inspiration for the piece is my oft forgotten cup of tea. I don't know how many times I have ruined a cup of tea by dipping my brush into it instead of medium or turp. My piece is called "Forgotten Cuppa" and is oil on canvas.









Sadie painted the light shining on her morning cup of herbal Redbush tea. This watercolor is titled "Redbush Tea."
