"Raspberry Tea" - 8 x 10 inches Oil on Canvas

I have always loved the color of raspberries and the color of rubies.  My wedding ring has a ruby stone.  I picked up this silver teapot in a thrift store.  The teacup is a gift from a student.  I felt this combination worked well for my painting "Raspberry Tea".   I picked up the raspberries at Michael's and realized that the leaves may not have been the correct leaves for raspberries, so I researched raspberries and found the correct leaves.  A lesson learned - don't always trust the correctness of imitation flowers.
