'Three Waiters in a Cup'

7" x 5"  Oil on RayMar Board - For Sale $240

I found these whimsical cheese utensils at a yard sale and was eager to use them in one of my  small paintings. I am drawn to figural subjects and was delighted to make use of them in a vintage tea cup.

 I wanted mainly sharp focus in this painting the few soft edges appear where the saucer meets the background above the spoon handle, part of the cup handle, and underneath the saucer and parts of the napkin ring. The cup is backlit to bring more importance to the three waiters. The napkin ring and the very small spoon were added for compositional interest.
