Topiary Teapot




Original pencil drawing “Topiary Teapot”

About the Art
A pencil drawing coloured digitally, an elegant geisha enjoys the simple pleasure of her garden. The teapot topiary is also a fountain, you can see water pouring out of the spout and a sprinkler at the tippy top.. :)

Inspiration
The inspiration came through my parents, who have a topiary teapot and a topiary sugar bowl in their own backyard, the also told me of an amazing topiary garden they visited in Tassie recently.

Here is the “teapot topiary” in my parents’ backyard, they are sculpting teapots and sugar bowls….there are lots of fun things in my mum and dad’s garden !! Even the Cheshire Cat and Tinman have a spot in the sun there :)

    Your art is becoming more and more… i want to mean “tener más matices” mmm I think the English word is “nuanced” That’s surprising! Yest a friend of mine was looking for a gift for her mother. I told her about your gallery and specially about your “Beachcombers” piece of art. I hope she was enough good taste to buy this one. I’d like buy it to the next mother day :)
