The original painting along with fine art prints will be available on Sunday, May 17th at 9:00 am CST
This painting features a cup of tea on a saucer, with a spoon and two lemons, all set under dramatic lighting. I was drawn to the contrast between the bright yellow lemons and the deep shadows, and the way the light reflected off the surfaces. It was a fun study in color, light, and composition.
Be sure to check out the time-lapse process video on YouTube to watch it all come together!

Do you ever make a past design on special order? You have two on this site I would have liked. One was sold before I saw the email alert and the other was before I found your site. Thanks,Carol

Thanks so much for your message, Carol! I typically only paint one original, one-of-a-kind piece, so once a painting is sold, I don’t usually recreate the exact same design. However, I do often paint similar themed pieces with the same subject matter, so there’s a chance something along those lines could come up again! I don’t take commissions, but I’d love to know which pieces you were interested in – that helps me get a feel for what people are drawn to when planning future work.

Chickadee & yellow cup and Teapot & Goldfinch. I want to get a coordinated pair the same size. The Goldfinch is important to me because it was a symbol for my sister who is deceased now. I want them in my kitchen so the teapot and teacup is a good theme. The pair could both even be Goldfinches but a mix with the other bird does give variety. Thanks,Carol

Goldfinch and lemon tea and Goldfinch and striped cup are other favorites on your Etsy site. I almost ordered the prints but I have an oversion to prints. I would much rather pay more for the originals. Thanks,Carol
