Tea while working

15 x 15 cm, oil on board, 2008, private collection

David’s been working hard at home this week, his only outlet was taking some tea, and that was still at his desk - you can see our two laptops in the background here.  Btw, I’ve painted this rooster pot before, it’s my mom’s prize item in her china collection. The cups come from different service and yet perfectly match the teapot in a shabby chic kind of way, but of course it’s just about the tea for poor overworked David.  He always brings some variety from his regular London trips, this one was the Harrods kind from the duty free store. Tastes surprisingly good and justifies it’s 10 quid per can price tag.

    Blimey! 10 quid! Actually, Raluca has a delicious collection of teas and hot chocolates etc from Whittard of Chelsea. I meant to pop in during my last trip but was, of course, much more preoccupied with finding the perfect pair of preggo jeans! So you’ll have to check them out when you go back. I’m pretty sure they’re not jsut in chelsea these days!

    xo, forgot to compliment you on the jeans - they look fantastic! Can’t wait to go over to the land of tea. Whittard is on Oxford st. these days too.
