beautiful artwork, great still life and beautifully rendered, great colours too. hugsxxx
Just simply lovely work. Very fresh and clever colours.
Many thanks Lynne, I love to paint with oils also, and have found these wonderful new paints that are odourless which is fantastic because I was allergic to normal oil paint.

Very gorgeous! I find every item on the table looks special…especially the teapot,looks so vintage chic :D
Thnaks Ellen, these were some teapots I collected when my hubby ans I travelled overseas, the square one, was from Thailand and the other lovely little round one was from Japan, I kinda have a thing for teapots, guess it is like you sharing a cuppa tea or coffee with a friend is very special.

Love this Lorna! I love the fact that you are so diverse in your styles and media!! (I guess I relate to that because I am too! LOL)

I’m living in Thailand now….and they have such beautiful ceramics stuff here, love teapots too, I love tea!! :D
At one stage my hubbyTony thought we would life in Thailand, quite a few years ago he was offered a job there, but I felt it would be too difficult with 4 kids and the traffic jams they had to cope with then, i’m sure our lives would have been different if we had.
