teapots

For the past two months or so, I haven't posted any teapot drawings and paintings from my 100 more teapots set. So here are teapots 89 through 93 with 93 on top. And at the end, a couple of photos of my yixing tea set with puerh tea and a recent yummy breakfast.

This morning I enjoyed the freshness of cool autumn air (55ºF/13ºC) and sipped hot assam tea with my breakfast. I had a noodle breakfast, which consisted of soba noodles with a little soy sauce, sesame oil, and green onion; a bowl of lightly steamed kale; and a bowl of miso soup with wakame, bonito flakes, a drop of sesame oil, and a few green onions.

Elixir I & teapots 41-43

Last night I started "Elixir I", one of five pieces that will be displayed (and which I hope will sell) at the Summer Suite Soirée at Casa Libre en La Solana on the 23rd of June. I have already matted and framed three of the pieces and will begin working on "Elixir II" tonight. I'm counting Elixir I as teapot no. 41 in my 2nd set of 100 teapots, this zen-like exercise that has taken on a life of its own.













What Elixir I looked like in progress this morning as I continued painting.

This is the finished piece.
