Artist Note

It was Page Railsback 

(fabulous with color and design)

who commented on my previous post

that my work was so complicated

it was hard to believe I could do it in a day.

 And that made me think... maybe 

she was right?

I would try something simple.

Whip it out.

So here it is. - a single rose in a glass.

It should have been simple, right?

 ...wrong!

This little sucker took two days and 

I am still not sure if it is done.

See the amazing, colorful work of

Memories of Afternoon Tea

Memories Of Afternoon Tea

6x6in oil on canvas  Not for sale.

At the memorial service for my friend, Lorraine, her daughters had beautiful
flower arrangements placed in her collection of teacups.
It was a wonderful idea and the florist did a spectacular job.
I was one of the lucky guests given one to take home.
I say lucky because it brings back special memories of our
many afternoon teas together.

Sentimental me managed to keep my corsage from the event
and brought it home.
It seemed just right to place it as a companion to the cup.

Artist Note.

The two white items were competing for the focal point
so I made them different shades of white and picked a red
background to go with the roses on the cup - making the
cup stand out more...hopefully!
