TEA WITH BEE ZEE

Here is another recently completed watercolor. This is also for a good friend, and was painted “secretly” for her.

The tea cup was part of her mother’s set and the gold spoon is part of my “good” flatware. My friend loves purple, so a piece of beautiful purple fabric makes up the background.

I took a photo of the teacup while at her house last summer and then superimposed it onto the fabric.

This one was fun to paint – interweaving our individual items into the story of the painting made me think of how our lives interweave – and there is just enough detail in the background to make me very happy (but not too crazy!)
