Still Life

Original Pastel Painting, 22" x 18 ”

Tea With Catherine Tea with Catherine celebrates a tradition that is common around the world... tea and conversation. In this painting the delicate handmade nesting dolls portray the image and stories of Russia. The Lomonosov tea cup is in the style of Catherine The Great. Texture, sheen, shadow and light are central parts of this story. In Masterworks of New Mexico 2007 the western artist, William Hook, judged this painting to be Best of Show. He commented, "It is an obvious choice… fabulous craftsmanship."
