Well here is the sequel to the previous "Oriental Tea" painting. I modified the composition a little by reversing the location of the background teapot and leaving out the second cup. I'm not as sure that I like this composition as much as the other one, but I like some of the elements more. As before, I especially like the green teapot and I want to put it into more paintings. It has a nice rough, but refined, quality that contrasts nicely with the teacups. The fabric on the table is an oriental silk kimono that I picked up at a street fair several years ago. I bought it because I was attracted to the design and thought I would include it as part of a figure painting. That hasn't happened yet though.
