It’s scary to just start painting with only a minimum of sketching, an express portrait of the tea on my desk. This attempt is in watercolour and shows the Finnish all-pervasive classic, the Moomin mug, and my jar of honey.

And another headlong dive into painting as I went along: the teapot my mother-in-law brought home from Edinburgh. Drawn with markers and colour pencils. These are raw scans from my sketchbook.
