4 Vintage Teacups - oil painting

Another of my teacup paintings. I realy struggled with the background. First it was a bright red, then I changed it to a yellowy, orangey colour. In the end I scraped of all the paint and went with a rather old looking wallpaper. I am happy now : )

Vintage teacup paintings

4 New paintings. I have boxes and boxes full of paper that I use for my paper doll collages and vintage blocks. These teacups were the perfect subject matter to use all my bits of scrap paper. I cut out the cups, pasted them on canvas and then painted over them with oils. I love the bright colours, they make me smile.
