food for thought...

A high tea is a ritual of pleasure and delicious decadence. It is a pretty perfect excuse to gather friends and loved ones to a magical afternoon treat that satisfies the most basic desires of the palate. After centuries it now enjoys a worldwide social revival.

A beautiful tea party








Vladimir Tretchikoff



Vladimir Grigoryevich Tretchikoff (13 December 1913-26 august 2006)
was one of the most commercially successful artists of all time - his painting Chinese Girl (popularly known as "The Green Lady") is one of the best selling art prints ever.
Tretchikoff was a self-taught artist who painted realistic figures, portraits, still life and animals, with subjects often inspired by his early life in China and Malaysia, and later life in South Africa. Tretchikoff's work was immensely popular with the general public, but is often seen by art critics as the epitome of kitsch (indeed, he was nicknamed the "King of Kitsch"). He worked in oil, watercolour, ink, charcoal and pencil but is best known for his reproduction prints which sold worldwide in huge numbers. The reproductions were so popular that it was said Tretchikoff was second only to Picasso in his popularity
