"Teacup, Orange, Blue Silk"

This week’s featured painting is “Teacup, Orange, Blue Silk” from 2021.  It is done with oil on panel, and measures 5 x 5 inches.

A favorite quote from the Book of Tea:

“Teaism is a cult founded on the adoration of the beautiful among the sordid facts of everyday existence. It inculcates purity and harmony, the mystery of mutual charity, the romanticism of the social order. It is essentially a worship of the Imperfect, as it is a tender attempt to accomplish something possible in this impossible thing we know as life.”

― Kakuzo Okakura, The Book of Tea
