Tea with Lemon

I received this wonderful red teapot in the mail from a fellow blogger, who shall remain nameless until I ask her permission. She is decluttering and when she saw this REDNESS she thought of me. I love it of course. And it is going to be a great addition to my growing teapot collection. I just had to paint it immediately and because I am using this new canvas paper I also wanted to return to working with looser brush strokes.
I considered your suggestions for doing a Cafe Press page and looked over what they offer and decided to keep it simple and just focus on the painting. I love doing just that.
By the way, we just celebrated one year in this house in Tennessee. We closed on the 31st of July and here it is the 1st of August already. What a great year in our new home! I never guessed we would be so completely happy as we are, and me happily going back into painting. You just never know what tomorrow will bring.

  3. Oh this is wonderful! And so wierd--I used to have navy blue dishes exactly like the plate and many, many years ago had yellow cups just like the cup. This is spooky!
