Teatime

I scoped out my next plein air site, a nice harbor scene and taking just my camera to get a few photos to plan the composition I hopped out of the car, braved the west coast wind and rain to get a few pics and within minutes decided I'd wait for warmer weather, or hold off till I'm back in our desert interior. So instead I decided to try a still life with a twist - just had to put myself in it. My daughter and I love to go for a proper tea and here we are at Victoria's Butchart Gardens enjoying our treats and the scenery out the window.

Wow Barbara, This is great! You really nailed it... I love the reflection!
Thanks Lori - I'm fascinated by reflections maybe as they add a little mystery to the scene!
Hi Barb,
Just wanted to tell you that you won the painting from the draw I had tonight! If you can email me with your mailing address I will get it sent out to you as soon as it dries. I'm glad you found my blog because then I found yours! I'm enjoying looking at your work.
Best, Kim
lovely reflections .... neat painting
The painting is beautiful, and the person in the reflection really catches my interest and draws me in further. Fabulous job!
I love doing chrome and shiny pots. The reflections are so abstract but when pulled together make a realistic painting. Good work and I know that you had fun.
Outstanding!!! Great shape, great reflections. I keep thinking that someday I will paint my shiny coffee pot. Yours is very inspirational!
Thanks for your supportive comment earlier this month, it was very much appreciated.
Thank you everyone for your kind comments. I seem to have a fascination for reflections not only visually but emotionally as well...hmmm
This may be a little late, but just wanted to tell you this is stunning. How fortunate you are to have tea at Butchart Gardens. That place is beautiful and amazing. When we toured thru there, I looked for weeds since there had to be a least one in that vast expanse of lush gardens. NONE! With all the beauty abounding thruout, look at you finding more in the details. See what happens to the artist eye? Always finding the unusual and the neat that we never saw before we educated our eyes to "see". Your rendering is priceless.
Thanks so much Ruth. I too looked for weeds or even evidence of a gardener. We were alone for the most part out there and it was very magical. I can't imagine how crowed it must be in the summer.
