My next watercolour project is a companion to 'Tea Garden' which features a cup and saucer with a poppy design, in a field of poppies. This one will feature the tibouchina shrub with its violet flowers and a representative cup which I have yet to decide on. I have found a cup with violet flowers on but I don't think that I will ever find one depicting the tibouchina so I will use artistic licence and adapt! The actual shrub can be seen on Saiala Road in East Killara, a suburb of Sydney, where I spent the Easter week with my wife, seen in the photo, and our son and his family.
