Cup and saucer by the window

Cup and saucer by the window finished today!

I am happy with my new still life. Oval format of the painting is the one I love to work with.

Yet this time it has been extremely difficult for me, as in January I’ve lost my dear friend. The one we’ve been friends since we’ve been girls, the one we’ve had billion coffees together to talk life, careers, families, kids, gardening……But on the other hand working on has been the best remedy for my broken heart.

I’ve picked the objects for this still life intuitively, placed them by the window in my studio. One cup with saucer, remaining there in the room, by the window, overlooking landscape, hills and sky. It is sunny outside, the cup and saucer shine in the sun light of January as I keep asking Where is the boundary between outside and inside, sorrow and sun, now and then, here and the future………..
