The Love of Tea Cups



Thanks for coming over to see what I've been up to


I've just finished a new painting on a chippy blue vintage timber panel, I've done a few of these, they are wonderful and a pleasure to work on


This one is simply of Vintage Cups and Saucers. As the timber is old and chippy it's not smooth and even, which makes it a little difficult to paint in fine detail - I rather liked the fact my cups and saucers have character because of the texture of the old timber


I've just listed them on our website, if you're interested you can click on the teacups for details

















Explaining the photos below....


I loved the cushion in my below photo
Had to have it but had no idea where to put it, it ended up in our for now "Beachy" themed Loft Bedroom, mind you this Beachy themed Loft bedroom could change directions at anytime!






The painting on the bedside table is one of my originals I painted to fit in with my bedroom theme, it's since sold , but just thought I'd give you the general idea of how things evolved from me buying the cushion

In real life our attic bedroom is very crisp and white, very hard taking photos at this time of the year here in Melbourne, let alone the fact my poor old camera is not quite up to it - looks a bit dowdy in my photos





Thanks so much for coming over

Alas and as always you have posted another lovely painting.... I really like the textured backgrounds that you use...the boards with the chippiness...and I agree the tea cups look more real with the roughness of the wood... fabulous job...

I also like your bedroom... the blue ticking is quite crisp and there is a sense of light and brightness to the room...

LOTS OF HUGS

Hi Gail,
Oh, wonderful painting.
I like you've incorporated and shadowed the planks of wood for shelves, that the tea cups are sitting on.
Hm, very clever.
Your loft bedroom looks very romantic.
I don't think I could sleep under the chandelier!
Hugs,
Anna

I love the tea cup painting, the mix of a beachy blue background, the elegance of the china teacups and then the rough texture of the boards. And your bedroom is to die for. We have very few attics or basements here in Florida so I enjoy seeing how people decorate theirs.
