| Tea With Tiffany
A few weeks ago, I was determined to get started on Spring cleaning. I began with the dining room sideboard, which, as it turns out, was a mistake. I found a forgotten little gem. It is a salesman's sample for china. From the tip of the spout to the handle is approximately 3 inches long and the pot is a little less then 2 inches tall. The pattern is Royal Crown Darby and the tiny teapot started me on a series of tea pot paintings that are still underway. This is the first. I placed the shape of the little teapot on an imaginary table and put that in front of my rendition of a Tiffany window, inspired by a placemat, also found in the sideboard. The medium used is watercolour. Some artists don't like the use of black in watercolour. I do. I am now working on painting number 6 in the teapot series. I don't know if anyone else will like them, but I am having a wonderful time with them. So many ideas and possibilities are really making me a bit giddy. Great fun.

And, by the way, my Spring cleaning is still not finished.
