Acrylic Paint on canvas, stretched and ready to hang.

Signed on the front.

What a historic encounter! Pavlova and an Earl Grey. An intriguing couple. A Russian ballet dancer and an English aristocrat and general. A tea with a dancing aroma and an Australian cake that deserves to be served at a queen’s tea party. They met each other on this painting. It’s a time travel and a true blend of three centuries and two continents.

One of the paintings from the Tea Time Series that are bubbling with colours. I tried to create an inviting warm feeling of a tea party. My still lives from the Tea Time Series are telling stories about people. Although people stay out of the picture, their presence is felt. It was them who set up a table, baked a cake, put flowers in a vase and poured tea into a cup. They can be back any minute. It’s about someone’s tea party, a birthday celebration or a get-together with a close friend. Bent crawling spoons, dancing cups and tea pots add dynamics to otherwise would be static still life paintings.
