The invitation Painting

This still life painting features a cozy setting of pastry and tea stimulating a conversation at any time of the day. I painted it around Valentine's Day. I was inspired by a view of perfect combination of fine dishes, and a candle as an invitation to slow down, relax, and enjoy delicious yellow merengue cupcakes, and red velvet cake macaroons with quenching tea, in a pleasant company. This artwork is painted with an ambience of calming tones of lilac, light blue, vanilla, and many other hues. Art is the driving force of my creative life. Everything I create stems from this vital force, and I use it to steer my painting designs. With love, Janelle Powell
