Moroccan Mint Tea

Tea is a social pleasure all around the world
When I was given some beautiful tea glasses, I took my imagination to Morocco for a holiday.
This is my impression of drinking tea in the shade of porch while a fountain sparkles in the outer courtyard
The tea glasses glow in the light as does the brass table and silver teapot.
Gold acrylic paint on the glasses and table for a lovely glow
Sides are painted as a continuation of the scene with the same colours

My parents met at Art School in Brisbane, so much of my background in art is genetic rather than taught.
Like many who love art, I worked in another career, as a librarian, and had art as a hobby.
I spent many years doing intuitive quirky drawings in pen and ink.
I prefer to be intuitive and experiment when painting from my imagination. I love watching the interaction of colours, so that the painting forms an impression of a subject rather than strict realism.

Painting became a serious interest in 2003 when I joined the Central Queensland Contemporary Artists in Rockhampton, and began to participate in their workshops and twice yearly exhibitions. I now work in colour, mostly in acrylic paint. I also create digital art, using a drawing stylus to paint in Photoshop.

Since 2015 I have enjoyed being a member of Maleny Arts and Crafts groups, and love trying out new subjects and techniques.
I have exhibited and sold work in twice yearly group exhibitions both here and in Rockhampton.
