The Golden Hour of Tea

The Golden Hour by Kellie Hill

Here's another painting by one of my favorite contemporary artists, Kellie Hill.  Her work is often evocative of much more than the simple subject depicted.  This one is more than a cup of tea on a lace tablecloth covered table.  I sip tea all day long, but this painting evokes something more. That special tea time where one might prepare their best tea in a treasured tea cup, when no one else is around and you can relax with just your own thoughts in restful, restorative tranquility. The Golden Hour. Perfect title. Elegant simplicity, peaceful serenity, Zen.
