Day 7: Teapot and Flowers

My friend has an old teapot filled with artificial flowers that has sat for some years on her kitchen windowsill. The teapot's lid was broken many years ago but she could not bear to throw it out as it held too many family memories. The teapot was part of the fabric of her mother's life and she salvaged the flowers from one of her mother's many dried arrangements. She tells me that when she looks at it reminds her of the good times and she can't help but smile.

I finished the painting on the same day in two separate sessions.

End of the first session:
