Portfolio > Still Lifes

A Russian tea glass (podstakannik), a large mug with a tea bag string hanging from it, a small teapot and cup, and assorted items used in the Japanese tea ceremony (chawan - tea bowl, chashaku-scoop, chasen - whisk, hishaku - ladle, and futa-oki - lid rest) with a brush painting in the background.

My wife collects teapots, we briefly took a class on the tea ceremony from a friend, and we drink a lot of tea in different forms, so these are all things from around the house. It’s winter and I needed something to paint. Not much of a story really.
