Teacup and Hug (NA)

Teacup and Hug by Sandra Galda
5"x5" oil on gesso board

This was really fun and surprisingly easy to paint due to the similar tones on the cup, the scrabble pieces and the surface they rest upon. I think if I had made the shadows a bit more purple, the contrast could have been more pleasing. Time for a tea break!

Thanks for the smile.
