It is going to be crazier-than-usual busy around my house because of my kids' last week of school. I will have to be creative (and miss some sleep) to fit some painting in. What better time to loosen up my style a bit with some quick teacup studies.

Carving Out Time for Me by Pamela Blaies

Time for Tea

6" x 6"

I had a thousand things going yesterday, so it was tough to carve out time to paint, but I was determined. I headed to my studio, turned off all of the phones and felt like I was entering a spa. As I listened to music, the composition seemed to put itself together. I used a lot of paint and intentionally kept my brushstrokes loose. With my palette knife I gave juicy highlights to the lemons and sharp reflections on the cup with gold trim. This has turned out to be one of my favorites, it feels fresh and full of color and light.
