Join me for a cup of tea and a little tour of my garden. Let's see what is in bloom and together we will look for inspiration for my "Tea Thyme" series of tea paintings.
Finding Inspiration . . . . . 
Bentley enjoying the garden looking for inspiration.
Here . . . .
You can see a little bit of my garden mirror reflecting the garden
There . . . .
Crimson climbing rose.
Wicker settee makes the perfect place to sit and read while enjoying a cup of tea.
Everywhere . . . .
Old salvaged wash stand makes a perfect potting area.
Another special place to sit and relax.
Winter pansies are still blooming - don't you just love their happy faces. 
Pink canopy of Cecil Bruner roses are in bloom.
Now that we found inspiration in my garden, it is time to paint a blue and white tea pot and cup. I decided to use the pink Ice berg roses and painted the tea pot with a sprig of roses.
I then painted the pink roses in the tea cup.
Thank you for visiting my blog. I love hearing from you and it means a lot to me that you have taken the time to leave me a comment and to follow my blog. If you have any questions or would like to see me paint something special please leave me a comment or send me an e-mail.
Blessings, Erin

ReplyDeleteoh! what a beautiful, beautiful garden and the paintings are so lovely! very nice to meet you :D
ReplyDeleteOMG, your painting is gorgeous!!! When I looked at your table set for tea with your blue and white china, it brought back memories of when I was a little girl. Friends of my mom gave me a blue and white china set for my very own when I was eight years old. I still get a thrill when i see a table set like that. All of your garden, your Bently ad your painting is wonderful. I so enjoy seeing your posts.

Hello Erin,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing with us and showing us how to paint some simple and easy things.
I painted a tea cup and wonder if you will kindly show us how to paint the tea pot.
Thank you so much.
