I am stuck in a dilemma--garden or studio? Planting or painting? Oh, and I could use a cup of tea!
Well, who says you can't do it all?
I ended up racing the late afternoon light, so I'll stop for now. I decided to keep the teapot lighter than the actual subject. It just seems to suit the floral mood.
There's an additional photo of the subject with preliminary pencil sketch on my IG at michelecooperart
