Tea and Oranges

Another recent painting lesson at my church was on a kitchen theme.  Some of the participants brought items from their own kitchen to include, and even took photos beforehand to have as references.  I started "Tea and Oranges" at home, to begin a demo, and finished it afterwards.  The title is from a song--  perhaps you remember Leonard Cohen's "Suzanne".  In the song there are the words "...and you feed her tea and oranges that come all the way from China".  And my favourite tea really is Earl Grey!   I was tempted to call it "Earl Grey--  hot".  Science fiction fans may recall Captain Picard asking his replicator for his favourite drink........
