For Sunday Sketches, I did this Antique Chinese shelf on cardstock (4 1/2" x 6 1/2") using my sketch markers. I got the idea when I was at a Chinese dim sum lunch recently and saw these shelves on display in the restaurant, storing these cute teapots. They wouldn't be more than 2 feet by 4 feet in size. Needless to say, I was trying to think of what I should paint next and was happy for the inspiration.

Good work!
I love teapots and have (or did have) a collection. And, I love Chinese food. This sketch brought back some happy memories for me.
That piece of furniture is so typically Chinese. Hope you enjoyed the dim sum.
Very cool..absolutely love it! Very magical!!
Wonderful work
I have always enjoyed the simplicity of oriental art. This is quite relaxing and the thought of tea sent me right to my kitchen. Lovely painting Christine ...
