Fantastic still life or 195th day of tea Print

With this picture I show my love for craft tea, I love this mixture of natural aromas, I love the dance of leaves in a transparent teapot, I love watching the water take on different shades. This is a whole magic or meditation, the moment when you can slow down and slowly enjoy the moment of life. This is my everyday tradition. This picture is one of a series of works about the life of fantastic creatures called "Pusechki". They are small and cute creatures that live all around us. They are kind and mischievous, live their own lives and sometimes we can catch their presence out of the corner of our eye. You can ask the question "Why is the name of the picture?" There is a hint on the picture itself, drawings are applied along the perimeter. As if a child scribbled inscriptions and scribbles on the blackboard with a nail, there you can see the history of the trip to the country: about how the child, how he watched the clouds, and how he walked in the garden and picked currants for tea, there he met the little pieces and invited them to tea ... Pusechki were visiting people for the first time, the inhabitants of the garden saw a lot of amazing things. What attracted their attention most of all was the white square cubes in which small crystals gleamed, a very beautiful sight. And the way people took these cubes and threw them into hot water, they disappeared without a trace. People called it sugar. To tell the truth, the little pieces didn't like the new sweet taste, they were much more pleased with the pure and natural taste of tea, the sweetness of berries and fruits. Therefore, the little bits decided that there was a better use for "sugar". They decided to take it to the sun and admire the sparkling of the crystals, and when it rains, they will watch the "sugar" slowly disappear as if it were snow. It was July 14, on this day Currant Day is celebrated. An excellent occasion to celebrate it with a cup of fragrant tea with currant leaves, and according to the Gregorian calendar, this is the 195th day of the year. - Why such confusing meanings with the name? you may ask. Smiling, I will answer "So that I can tell you this story" And now you know why the sugar in the house is running out quickly. The painting is painted in oil on a quality linen canvas stretched on a wooden stretcher, with a hanging bracket in the back. The end of the picture is painted over, so it can be hung without being framed
