I set up this still life with lovely flowers in my favorite twisted purple glass vase, a lavender candle, a book, my journal, and a CD and my favorite tea cup. I went into Mr. Twitters, a local shop that is a fabulous plant nursery, antique shop, and gift shop. I saw this iridescent tea cup as part of a brass candle holder and fell in love with it. The shop owner graciously took it apart and sold me the tea cup at a really low price. It is lavender/blue on the outside and orangy-gold on the inside. I painted it for myself, which I rarely do.
