Tea in the Garden

Tea in the Garden:


by Beryl Cook, who died on May 28, 2008, at the age of 81. She had no formal training. Isn't this piece delightful? Now I'm not suggesting we enjoy our T Stands for Tuesday gathering in the nude -although who would know, I ask you- but that we wear hats. Yes, hats.

ATCs:

  2. I chuckled at the painting of nudes in hats enjoying tea - in the sunshine getting lots of the good natural Vit D. I'm down with that although I think I might frighten the neighbours, but maybe it might shut their barking dogs up (lol). Happy Tea Tuesday.

  5. I love Beryl Cook's paintings. She lived in Plymouth and first became known in the mid 70s when I was doing my teacher training there. We went to one of her first exhibitions.

  6. Okay, as long as I can wear my hat, I don't mind, great idea in summer. Thanks for the BIG smiles. Nice ATCs, too! Valerie (still clothed, but with base-cap)

  7. Such a fabulous post! The painting really made me smile and I'd be happy to wear a hat for T Day if that's what your suggesting ...lol πŸ˜‰. Your ATCs are wonderful too, love the sentiments - stay happy and at peace while we are waiting for normality, if we ever have that again ...lol πŸ˜€. Thanks for the smiles and wishing you a Happy T Tuesday! Take care! Hugs, Jo x

  9. Very entertaining painting of the people wearing hats (and only hats). Reminds me of Botero.

  10. Funny, funny painting, D. During lockdown I've actually said to Chris, "We might as well go around naked and be more comfy."

    Happy T-Day! Eileen xx

  12. I really enjoyed this painting, dear. I thought it was brilliant with the hats. I'd have to buy a hat, but I would also have to wear my shoes, too. I can no longer go barefoot, even though I did for many years.

    So glad to see the ATCs this week. I enjoyed all three. Thanks for sharing them and that painting with us for T this Tuesday. And thanks for the Tea invite in the nude.

  14. That painting sure is funny. I wonder if people actually do that. I would find it very embarrassing... and cold.
    Happy Tea Day,
    Kate

  17. Wonderful! I love Beryl Cook! (But I had never seen this particular piece) She lived in the West Country of England, not far from where we lived and I have seen a lot of her work. Unbelievable that she never had any formal training. A natural talent.
    Happy (belated) T-Day,
    Stay safe,
    Hugs,
    Lisca
