Antique Gift
6x8in oil on canvas SOLD
One of the artists from the Guild brought me in this lovely
antique teapot, creamer and sugar bowl (not shown)
The set belonged to her husband's mother, and the way
my friend put it... it was in the cupboard not being
used and she knew I loved painting teapots!
Hubby was a sweetie and agreed to let me have it.
This is my first attempt at painting two of the pieces,
and I know I will be including these fun pieces
in other paintings.
Thank you so much, dear Ken and Denise
Such thoughtful friends..........tis the season.

DeleteOriginal style of pottery. The character of the pieces really shows in the painting and the spoon works so well in that position, in adding perspective and in reflection the 'pots'. Exquisite and clever
