Vitamin C with your Tea!

This mug was another charity shop find, two of them actually, they are lovely to drink from, the handles so comfortable to hold - I am not going to sell them too much or the person who donated them might see this blog and want them back!!
I started this painting last weekend and felt I had to let it dry before I could work on the complicated design on the mug. It is an 8" square this time, a little larger - I am like someone giving up smoking, but in reverse - as they give up from 10 a day to 5 a day, I am moving up from 6" square to 8" square paintings............ where will I stop, no one knows, not even me!
