Fish Out of Water

All my paintings are a little bit surreal - expressive, whimsical, real and unreal. In this work, I use the teapots I've created in my pottery practice as still life props. I like to give them a second life. 
Teapots and tea always evoke comfort for me. I am Scottish, after all! I have a massive collection of them . When I make them, I like to take symbols from other paintings - dogs of course, but also birds and fish, to use as knobs. The images on the side are windows into little scenes from my day to day life. Swimming, walking, watching nature, the world. 
Of course it would be great in a cafe or dining room and brings a sense of vibrancy and yet calmness to any space.

It is ready to hang.
