I do love your art. so is the painting on the table a copy of a post card or some other art or is this also your creation at the time you are seeing Mt. Fuji? peace n abundance, CheyAnne
This is wonderful! I like your creative compositions so much! And I like the title of this piece. I always consider my morning tea as my own special tea ceremony, bringing me peace and strength for the day. :)
Hi, CheyAnne. Thank you so much for writing. The landscape in this vignette is a copy of a print by Hokusai, the Japanese artist. In the 1800's he produced a wonderful series called "100 Views of Mt. Fuji". I've used "quotes" from his work, and other Japanese print makers, many times in my still life--I love these images.
I'm glad you wrote, Katherine! I tend to paint tea--must be both the color and associations that appeal to me--but am an addicted morning coffee drinker myself...

My visual journal is inspired by what I see every day: the weather on my hill in northern Vermont, what’s growing in my garden, a curio brought back from travels or an ordinary object from the kitchen shelf made special by careful looking. "Journal" paintings are fast, improvised daily entries, a chance to experiment with new approaches and pay attention to the here-and-now. When I’m traveling, quickly recorded impressions are posted from Paris, Provence, Spain, Maine and anywhere else I’ll find myself this year. My large studio compositions take time, planning, refining of the original inspiration. I'll also be sharing that different kind of creative process with you here on "A Painter's Year".
