Tea With Mollie

I can hardly believe its been almost a week since my last post!
Hope this painting makes up for it - my version of a Mollie Jones demo on Painting Friends ( you can see Mollie's version HERE)
Mollie is a wonderful artist and person, always ready to help. I've named this painting for her, as a homage.

Pat this is good, you got the silver down right. I like your blue in the pot.

Pat said...

Thanks, Nora! You're very kind xx

Sandra said...

This really is amazing Pat! The silver actually looks like silver! Just perfect! :0)

Pat said...

Thanks, Sandra!
Can't remember if I've tried silver before - but Mollie made it sound so easy with her demo - and voila!
I'm sure there will be more on the horizon :) xx

Pat, this painting is wonderful. I love the reflections in the spoons and the colors in the teapot! This is beautifully painted.

Absolutely delightful, Pat. I love those bright colors.

Thanks, Christiane, glad to hear you think I've painted it beautifully :) xx

Pat said...

Thanks, Kathryn, it does look delightful.. next time I'm going to paint muffins in there too.. because it made me peckish ! xx

Michael Bailey said...

Beautifully rendered metal, Pat. I love the vase too. Looks very much like our posh silver cutlery that we only get out for Christmas .. hang on a minute ... LOL

Tito said...

Beautifully done, Pat...I love the blue tint to the teapot and the silver is gorgeous...you did good, girl. You've gotten the reflections down perfectly.

Pat...tried to comment earlier, but Blogger doesn't like me today. This is just gorgeous...you did a marvelous job with the silver and the reflections. Really love the blue in the teapot gray also...grays can be so flat...and this one isn't flat. Good job.

Maria's Watercolor said...

Such brilliant reflections Pat, this is wonderful!

Hillbilly Tonya said...

The spoons look hard...getting them to shine like that...but then I know that your new fun is crystal and such so I bet you enjoyed painting them. Love to see us BOTH having fun with our creations! xx

Anamaria said...

I like the way you composed your painting, Pat. Looks so interesting, with all these colored shadows. Lovely!Invites for a cup of tea.xx

Jane said...

Wonderful reflects! It's very hard to reproduce these effects with watercolour but you're great! Arianna

Linda said...

Beautifully done! Excellent job on the reflections.

ExcellentWork

Pat said...

Gosh, thank you all for your kind comments! So glad you all enjoyed this piece. I had a fab time painting it :) xx

Dora said...

Love this one Pat! Great color and contrasts!

Frank said...

That's a pretty good attempt at silver Pat. It's not easy I know. It was difficult enough for me when I tried painting a car with chrome headlights and wing mirrors. You know what you can see, but it doesn't feel right when you are laying down the paint!

Teresa said...

Wow, Pat.... haven't been around much this summer (busy, as usual) but I see that I've missed a lot of gorgeous paintings on your blog! This is awesome... love the bright colors, the crispness of the reflections and the cleanness of all the colors. Great job girl!!
