Red Teapot and Van Gogh


Tea With Van Gogh
6x8" oil on canvas panel  SOLD

Artist Note.
Good to be back painting after
being hit with a nasty virus.
I am still coughing and living
in a whirl of
tissues and nose blowing.
From now on it is fist bumps
for greetings
instead of handshakes.

A good friend came back from a
trip to Europe with a gift of two
tablecloths  - both with images of
Vincent van Gogh's work.
This one had his gorgeous"Irises" painting.
see detail below.
I have set up a couple of 
still life displays using 
the tablecloths as the background.
They are rich and exciting.

I decided to use the red teapot
to see if I could balance out
the power of the colors 
in the cloth.
The next one has fruit
in a clay bowl.
You can just see a tiny bit of it
at the right side

I started this before
Mr.blanky blankVirus
decided to form an
intimate relationship
with me and
managed to complete it today.
Yea - on the recovery road!
