"Storm in a Teacup" finally finished

Several weeks ago in my  blog post called "Work in progress - Studio tea set" I posted progressive images of this painting which is now finished.

I have decided to call it "Storm in a Teacup". It has taken a while to finish. I wanted the looseness of the background to indicate wind or a storm, hence the floating petals. The tea set is the studio one I use every day. I am going to frame it in an elaborate gold traditional frame. The most ornate one I can afford.
