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 :)
Karin Taylor
replied
Tania, thank you so much for passing on my details to your friend, that’s just so lovely of you! :) I’m so happy you like my latest little Geisha and that you think my work is evolving and improving, it’s sooo encouraging to hear it my friend, big hugs xxxxx

My car has a problem this morning so I didn’t go to the local artists group meeting. It has oil leak and I have to wait till the parts send in. iI may take 2 weeks to get the parts!!!. Our mechanic gave me a bottle of oil and told me to top up sometimes. hahaha
I will stay home and be quiet for a while.

I love the kanzashi in her hair and the obimakura with the blue flowers on her back. I love the inverted heart of the shapes cast in the water, I love the herons which remind me of their home in Kyoto. I love the echoes of the colour blue throughout the piece :o)

I love your Mum’s topiary teapot too… she’s got one brilliant garden… can’t think if anyone better to have in the garden (apart from birds and wildlife) than Alice’s friends!! We had a cheshire cat once as a topiary, but then had to move house and he was too big to take (I could only just trim his furry back). I’ve got a photo somewhere…
