Teapot


Oil on 3/8" Board. Approx 8"x8" SOLD

I painted this as a gift for a friend I visited in L.A. this past holiday weekend. It was a rockin' time. A lot of laughing and people watching. I saw all of the sites that I have only seen on TV before. My wife actually got me the trip. She planned it all ahead of time for my 30th birthday which was earlier this month. That's why I say she's the best.

Happy belated birthday, Mike!

The teapot painting is quite well done.

As others have stated, cropping the subject allows us to see all of the little details.

Very intricate and stately looking.

It even appears to glow in certain spots and that's not an easy effect to achieve!

Just great!

Oooh, it almost has a halo - like I sometimes see with my dirty eyeglasses... Wait, are my glasses dirty?

So realistic, love it.
