New painting, "Spring Morning Tea":

The morning sun rises through the green bamboo. A beagle dog curls up on the ledge of the teahouse window. Steam rises from a black tetsubin (Japanese cast iron teapot), a cup sitting nearby, waiting to be filled. A few daisies sit jauntily in a purple pottery vase. Inspired by the Japanese tea ceremony. This zen landscape is an original acrylic painting on a gallery-wrapped stretched canvas (the 3/4" sides are finished off in brown acrylic)--no need to frame. It has been lightly varnished to protect the paint and preserve the lustrous colors. The copyright watermarks on the image do not appear on the actual painting.

Steam rises from the cast-iron Asian teapot. Brightly-colored teacups are filled with tea. Purple sweet pea flowers adorn the table. A Siamese cat drifts off to sleep. This landscape, inspired by the Japanese Tea Ceremony, is offered as a pendant, hand crafted by the artist from my original artwork. Made from polymer clay with the print fired onto it, then sealed for protection.
An 18 1/2" earthy tribal beaded necklace of copper, stone, wood and handmade polymer clay beads completes this unique piece. If you would prefer a different length, let me know at the time of the sale (no additional charge).
Listed on Bonanzle at only $59.

A darling orange kitten with white paws sleeps in the window of a Japanese teahouse (my kitten, Loki, was the model). Steam rises from a purple ceramic teapot with a bamboo handle. Teacups rest invitingly on a tray. Outside, the rising sun illuminates bright green Spring bamboo. Inspired by the Japanese tea ceremony. This zen landscape is offered as a print on my website
