"My First Time..."

OOOOOH! MY!

Did I ever have fun with this!

Ro Bruhn in Melbourne, Australia

posted on her blog

a photograph of this lovely little teapot in her garden.

The instant I saw it I fell in love!

By the way, a trip to Ro's blog is a total delight...

lots of visual treasures and journalling "goodies"...

including

some awesome jewelry!

Anyway...

I requested and was granted permission from Ro

to paint my impression of her photograph.

This was a first for me.

I tried to be loose and free...quick, yet deliberate

(which explains the "wonkiness" of the lid and handle)

and complete the piece just for

the sheer joy of painting.

Thanks, again Ro! I had such great time today.
