Mint Tea at El Fishawy's

What a beautiful, delicate painting Seok! When I saw it on gallery page, it took me straight back to Morocco where I visited a tearoom many years ago. Such soft colours on china and the golden tray! Well done( as always)!

Well painted as always with some lovely touches such as the pattern on the glasses but, if you don't mind me mentioning it, I'm not too sure about the perspective of the tray. Anyway it's a lot better than I could have done.

Again a beautiful little gem in your gallery, Seok. Well done. I like the choice of subject and the way you painted the texture of everything. Beautiful colours!

Lovely, the little glasses are perfect. The chipped enamel is very well done too.

This is a beautiful one, very well done...

So many beautiful items on a tray and so brilliantly painted. This has taken me back to Morocco, I love the mint tea (but no sugar!). A lovely watercolour, well done.

Super palette, and it looks delicious! A lovely still life

Lovely composition which is full of interest. Beautifully and delicately painted as well. Super!

Thank you very much, everyone, for your very kind comments and encouragement! And Val, I'm not sure about the tray either. It was rather dark and I couldn't quite see properly from the photo, so I made up some parts. I am really atrocious at getting the perspective right so it's very probable that it's not 100% spot on.

A delightful still life. I love the delicate colours.Didn't notice the perspective !

Thanks so very much Avril!

Thanks very much, Kirstie!

What a great portfolio you have Seok ! You seem just as comfortable drawing figures as you do landscapes.....very talented !

Beautiful painting Seok, I'm so glad that I took the time to trawl through lots of pages you and Sue made it worthwhile with your lovely paintings,

Thank you very much, Kate and William!
