Yellow Peony in Purple Tea Cup, Ltd Edition Giclee Art Print

The artwork is printed on museum grade Ilford Smooth Artist Rag, 100% cotton art paper. This paper is near identical to the watercolour paper used in the original watercolour artwork.

The art print:

This is the second painting in the “Peonies in a Teacup” series. The original is A3 in size and painted in watercolour on 300gsm hot press paper.

Blending vibrant colour and delicacy, the watercolour artworks of Tricia Hood’s ‘Teacup Series’ present icons of warmth, comfort and healing in the form of flora and still life. The delightful subject of flowers and tea cups evoke childhood memories and those of happy times. Who doesn’t have memories of garden parties, high teas and nurturing moments with loved ones over a healing brew?

In the “Peonies in a Teacup” series of watercolour prints, the artist brings a sense of joy, healing and connection to nature. Tea has long been used, and is still used, to nurture and heal during difficult times. Herbal concoctions are well known to heal emotional and physical ailments. There are few cultures which do not have ceremony or rituals connected to taking tea.

This giclée print imbues memories of loved ones, as we cannot but stop to remember our loved ones, when the heirloom vintage teacups they once owned, are brought out. When our hands wrap around the delicate china of the teacup, how can you not recall the warmth and comfort of old memories and joyous times.

The artist’s delicate style is mirrored by the choice of fine, decorative porcelain vintage teacups. The large, ‘flouncy’ peonies are bursting with their fullness. Peonies are a symbol of courage, hope and healing and each colour has it’s own symbolism. So the artworks are symbolic of healing, strength, love and hope.

Description:

The yellow Peony sits in a purple teacup embellished with gold filigree patterns on tea cup and saucer. In front of the teacup, on the left in the foreground, there is a single yellow petal that has fallen. The background is white and unpainted.
