#109 "Tea Time" 8x10 oil on linen panel

"Time for Tea" 8x10 on linen panel
 Wow! Not what I expected!!! As an artist you're supposed to know the end result BEFORE you start. I must admit, not so with this painting. Using my Grandma Schuyler's teapot and my antique clock (and an apple from Vons) I set out to do a very loose painting. As usual, my left brain dominated.  Hate it when that happens!!! That said, I love the composition of this  painting and the palette. I painted in all the shapes and values as I always try to do. This time.... I let it sit over a couple of nights. Today I came back to it and this is what I saw. VERY happy with this one. When it dries I will take it back to the studio for some ever so minor tweaks. This was fun!!!

Jim-
What a gorgeous piece! Jane, Karen, Lana and I were admiring this piece last night. Nice job.
I suppose Grandma's teapot is from North Judson, no doubt!
