Tea for Two & Two for Tea

I love painting with themes from song titles! Plus...I love tea! This time, my illustration is based from the song Tea for Two by Doris Day.

What kind of tea do you think are in their teacups?

Have a cup of tea

Hello! It's May!

I'm working on a new serie of illustrations: Have a cup of tea.
Here are the first couple of pieces.

Dandy Gentleman Earl Grey:

Dainty Little Miss Rosebud:

The concept is for this project is to depict the teas as people. Since I am a tea lover, this project is really fun :) To me, different teas have different feelings to them. The aftertaste really can translate into images.

My all time favorite is indeed Earl Grey. Since Earl is a tea with class, associating with the past British Prime Minister, I decided to illustrate him as a regal man. Earl also has a citrus addition, so I thought it would be fun to make him a bit of a fruity, Dandy man.

The second image is of Rosebud Tea. Rosebud is an herbal tea, very beneficial to women. It's got a floral scent and it's mild in taste, so it makes a lot of sense she would be a feminine little lady.

More to come! So many different kinds of teas to illustrate, so many ideas floating!

How about you? What's your favorite tea?
