After the last Truman class, we went to lunch at a pub. Alan ordered tea. The server said she’d bring a pot. He just wanted a cup but they only do pots. This went on for awhile and she finally said she’d make him a cup herself and not charge him thinking it was about $, which it was not. It showed up in a glass and stainless cup and the sunlight reflected his shirt on the surfaces so I snapped a photo. This is in the hot press book. Maybe I could have left out the tea bag.
What a lovely clear, inviting cup of ichor. Spoon is splendid also. Maybe if that tea bag, had some touches of that reddish brown (You are quite the star with reddish browns these days, are they based on burnt umber?) or maybe a little puddle where that soggy tea bag lies.
ReplyDeleteI love this composition and that spoon is just deliciously painted! And the glass too! Great values.
ReplyDeleteGreeta, this is a tour de force! The liquid is beautiful, the spoon too—and the reflections are spot on. The tea bag does bother me a little, but mostly because you pointed it out and it's not as magnificent as the rest of the painting.
