I love this Tea Cup. I guess it reminds me of all those afternoon teas as a kid at my Aunty Vera's in England.  We ate real cream sponge cakes and sipped milky sweet tea from her blue and white china.   It was a very warm loving Irish household and we could say the Rosary in 10 minutes flat after tea.

I started drawing this with a student as a demonstration drawing on form, light and pattern.  We spent hours looking at it and enjoying it; and then when the cup was done I left it for a while.  As works often do, it decided its own fate and asked for a bed of roses to be around it and for a border to embrace it all.


I  called it a Cup of Love because when I was a nurse in the UK, no matter how sick or distraught someone was, a cup tea of tea always seemed to help.  It is the real British comfort drink.  I left the water clear though as it is also about our own love: that it is always there inside and around us, even when it seems buried sometimes.
