"Tea Cup - Cherries Jubilee"

"Tea Cup - Cherries Jubilee"  6" x 6"  Oil on Hardboard
I'm back from a fantastic trip to Boston, Mass. This year has been a whirlwind of travel. I've visited more states this year than I've ever visited before. This trip was especially fun! We went to a special event at Fenway Park (home of the Red Sox); saw Paul Revere's house (did you know he had 16 kids!); saw some old headstones at the Old Granary Burial Ground Cemetery (John Hancock, Samuel Adams and Paul Revere are there); walked through the Boston Commons (a park with Swan boats & a Frog Pond); visited the Boston Museum of Fine Art; ate seafood at The Union Oyster House; and attended a conference. Yep, I'm livin' the life thanks to the cruise director! Bless him!

Well, it's back to painting. In honor of the Boston Tea Party, here's another piece in the Tea Cup series. This fine china is strikingly beautiful. It has an opalescent surface where the cherry design is painted and it has gold on the handle, rim & lip. Truly a treasure!
