Teapot


Opportunity is like a cup of tea, have it while it's hot. — Jim Rohn





I went to see the new Islamic Art wing in the Louvre and I loved it.
I am especially drawn to their ceramic work. 
The details and colors are just so splendid. 
I am inspired to draw my teapot with their mosaic art. 




Islamic art and Japanese art are strongly influenced by Chinese art. 
My grandparents had many antique ceramics in their home, 
so when I see the ceramic/mosaic art, it gives me a nostalgic feeling. 




Japanese children learn to associate a rabbit with the moon 
from their folksongs and folktales.
