Great idea with the découpage! I’ll go straight to the cakes if you don’t mind.

Oh yummy. Looks lovely. I love afternoon tea

Thanks, Marjorie - I must be more of a savoury person, as my favourite bit of an afternoon tea is the sandwiches...

That looks delicious! I love the background - I was thinking of doing something like that but am a bit stuck on watercolours at present.

They say you can't have your cake and eat it but I think you can Jan!

A great concept very well put together and painted. Tea and cakes...one of life's delights. (Oh...you've left out the French Fancies.)

Posted by Lewis Cooper on Fri 18 Feb 16:30:36

Thanks for your comments, Chris and Lewis - yes, you're right about the French Fancies - yum!

Now that’s not fair Jan…..just when I fancy something sweet! A super idea, well painted.

I posted a painting of an afternoon tea recently, but I felt a couple of things were missing: a cup of tea and a good newspaper/magazine! So I've done the painting again with these two elements. I wasn't sure how to add the magazine, so I made it the background using decoupage. Oil and acrylic on 10 x 12 canvas.

I'm an amateur artist and my favourite medium is oil. I particularly enjoy painting scenes of people using a palette knife. I've got a lot to learn about painting, but my goal is to keep improving. I try to enjoy the process of painting rather than worrying too much about what the final painting…
