Ending the year with Afternoon Tea

afternoon tea by Tracy Hall'Afternoon Tea' © Tracy Hall 2009
20" x 28" watercolour

Not a particularly festive illustration to round off admittedly, but this painting marks the end of my work for 2009 and the start of the holiday. Might sneak in a miniature or two if I can. Back next year :)

I'll leave you with one of our cats being silly and wish you all a very

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you as well :) Thank you for all the glimpses of the paintings over the past year... I know the web does not do them justice (having seen some of your miniatures at the Mall Galleries)... but it has been wonderful to see what you are creating. Lesley

Tracy--
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family. Keep posting your fantastic artwork this coming year. Your friend from a long ways away....Terry.

Thank you Balaji and I really enjoyed looking at your blog and drawings!

Thanks Lesley, I doubt anyone is more surprised than me that I managed to keep the blog going :) Must find a better way to show the minis online as they never look the same as in person...at least I'm not the only one with the problem though!

Happy holidays to you both and thanks so much for stopping by to leave a comment.

Happy Christmas Tracy...I'd love to come and have tea in that delightful room any time of the year...
Here's hoping 2010 brings you many more wonderful ideas for paintings.
I've certainly enjoyed all you've painted in 2009.

All the best

Tracy I love the tradition of afternoon tea, and what a wonderful scene you created! My favorite part is all the little minis on the wall!

What an inviting, warm and wonderful painting! We have a grandfather clock like the one you've depicted. I can almost hear its Winchester chimes!
