"After Tea" --- SOLD



I found this perfect, green teacup and saucer at the thrift store recently. Up until today I could not find a good background for it. But then I found this white napkin and it fit perfectly. I think teacups are challenging because if you don't get the proportion just right it's very obvious. Also, the rim of the cup, for some reason, is always a bit tough. I'd like to think I'm getting better and better at it.

You tend to gravitate towards the difficult angles as well. I'm always amazed at your drawing skill.

Ok, this is going to sound sort of weird probably, but the rims of your cups are one of my favorite things to notice in some of your paintings.

I had actually made a mental note to be sure and watch if you did a cup demo in your Santa Fe workshop to see what your thoughts and processes are on this subject.

It's nice to hear that you find teacups challenging. I'm drawn to them, but I've struggled with them many times.

Ok, nice isn't the word I'm looking for...comforted? Comforted that someones work I admire so much also has some of the same challenges as myself.
