Why not take a rest and have a cup of tea?

A colourful little project in acrylics, pastels and collage - inspired by a dream I had of a painting with words embedded in it. But I could not remember the words. So I picked up this phrase from a brochure from the Hama-rikyu gardens in Tokyo. And I built up my painting around it. I used alphabet stamps and acrylic paint, but you'll probably find it difficult to see the words, as I have added many layers of acrylics and pastels over them. In the centre, a little collage from a drawing of mine, printed on A4 paper (not acid-free, I'm afraid, so the original will not last forever) and glued using acrylic glazing medium, then enhanced with pastels. Great fun.
