Red Tea 6in x 6in oil

I could have named this a study in white.  The teapot was a cool white, while the cup is a warm white and the background and shadows vary depending on the reflections around them.  I couldn't resist making it symmetrical.

"Bright Morning" 6in x 6in oil

Well, the sun finally came out today and I can see in my studio!    I like to use the natural north light when I paint.  I do use a spot light on the set up and a light on my palette.

Thank you for following my art.

"The Teapot and her friends" 6" x 6" oil

This was a demo that I painted in my Monday painting class.   I forgot to post that night but dreamed all night of tweaking the paint strokes.  So I was hell bent the next morning to change the painting.   So here it is!   I think it is better.   Class, what do you think?

"Brewed Tea" 6" x 6" oil

I tried to be looser on this one.  Thought it would be a good idea to use the same items  but in a different layout.   Well, as you probably noticed, a spoon got in on the act.

"A Pot of Tea" 6" x 6" oil

Thought I would dip myself into this pot of tea today.   I felt like I had never painted before!   How frustrating!   But I think I pulled it off in the end.  Now that I am looking at it I see that there is no signature.

Thank you for viewing my art.

Sugar Sugar Teapot 18" x 18" oil

My painting style has changed over the course the last 4 years, in fact it has changed in the last year.   When I recently looked at this painting from a year ago I was not happy with it so I repainted it to reflect my current painting style.

Red teapot with spoon 6"x6" oil

I'm a little teapot... or maybe not.    I started this painting on Monday and finished it Tuesday so I am not sure if it is a daily or a two-day painting.   I was able to take my dog to the Dog Park on both days which is most important in the four legged world.

Tea, one sugar 6"x6" oil

The Dali Lama was here in Louisville speaking and teaching for several days.  He is such a delightful and happy man full of insights and common sense.   I was only one in the 14,000 that came to hear him speak.   Louisville has taken on the challenge of "Compassion".    I have been practicing it as I drive.... did I hear some sniggering!   some laughter!   Well, you have to start somewhere and that is where I have the least amount of it, and I tell you it is working... most of the time.   I am a new woman... who has forgotten how to paint!   Here is my struggle for today.

Tea with two cubes 6"x6" oil

Today I decided to make the cubes whiter than the white tablecloth.  I like the way they pop out.

Black with sugar 6"x6" oil

Looking almost straight down on a subject is fun for me however it does pose problems in painting the set up.    In order to have this view the table with the objects needs to be right in front of me so I can then look down on the objects which means that the easel and the panel I am painting on is at arms length.    I have been trying to be more painterly in my approach but I could not decide where to mess up the brush strokes so I left it as is.   I did do a couple of small messy strokes.

Red tea bag 6"x6" oil

It was unintentional but I see now that the three objects make a triangle.   Speaking of triangles I am going to have a booth at the Cherokee Triangle Art Fair this weekend, Sat & Sun., April 27 & 28, booth #626, come on out and say "hi" if you live in the Louisville KY area.   Looks like the weather might be perfect and there will be lots of great art and food.    The next painting I do will probably be next week.

Red, white, yum! 6"x6" oil

This red pot has been calling to me and even though it is for tea I could not resist using it in the picture. there is something about lining it all up that excites me.   The spoon sort of puts it in perspective.

One for tea 6"x6" oil

Sold

I struggle to keep it from being perfect and nit-picky.  My favorite parts on this set up are the reflected lights in the shadows.   To me the discovery of painting wet into wet and being able to manipulate the paint and edges is what it is about.   At least this is where I am at in my art path.

Red teapot 6"x6" oil

Sold

Over the years people have been giving me paint that they find in a yard sale or paint that someone left behind so I have accumulated quite a bit of paint.   Since I use a limited palette there are quite a number of colors that I might never use.   Today I was thinking about what red I will use so I got out all my paint and American Vermilion.   I wonder why they call it American??

Red teapot 9"x12" oil

Sold

This is the same model and set up as last week but since everyone was working on a new piece we decided to change the pose slightly.   I'm sure you can see what is different.   I had wanted to put the red teapot in last week but the composition I chose did not allow for that so that was what I wanted to put in this time.

I am surprised on how long it took for me to paint this one but I think I finally achieved the look I was going for.    The little grape who could.

Getting looser and more painterly is a goal of mine.   This painting was fun to do and it is definitely looser than my usual work.   I hope I can keep it up and not get too picky!

White on white 6"x8" oil

Last Friday I took my computer to the Apple store because the disc drive was not working properly.  A new part had to be ordered and the first one they got in was defective so I just got it back today!   I have almost forgotten how to post.  I have been obsessed lately with painting white objects on white backgrounds.   I was wanting to put in something red in this one but stuck to my plan.  White on white.
