Description 5 o'clock is now the time,
Time for tea with good friends of mine.
You bring the tea, and I'll bring the pot.
Dear it smells nice.
Would you like?
Just a spot!
Swim with me now to join in the glee,
Of having your 5 o'clock tea in the sea!

AVAILABLE AS A T-SHIRT: [link]

This is inspired by a game I think everyone with a pool has played, that involves having an "underwater tea-party" at the bottom of the pool. Tell me I'm not the only one! I can't wait for summer!!!

I am seriously considering getting this as a tattoo. You do beautiful work! I wish you had more mermaids. How much are your commissions?

So eerily beautiful! As if art nouveau wasn't enough, there's a beautiful lady - mermaid of all - an octopus, and TEA. Oh, tea~~~... I'm sorry if this comment doesn't get any longer, have to get myself a cuppa. Thanks a lot for sharing!

Stylized and stylish without sacrificing beauty for either achievement. I also enjoy the whimsical poetry. There's a great confidence here that's also justified and praiseworthy, you make your color range work for you here. A favorite due to the magnificent composition and proportions.

WWoowww I forgot, I used to do that as a kid!! Thanks for a great memory! Aww, and this piece is gorgeous, too. I love the Octopus, there. Really nicely done! Very Mucha-esque, though I'm sure you've heard that before.

This is just lovely!

Theme, colors, textures, composition.... All the different swirly things, and each one swirly in its own way, and the objects interacting with the framing elements rather than just in front of them....

chostopher In reply to NonieR [2011-05-07 21:14:08 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much! One of the things I love most about art nouveau, in border interaction! I try to do it with most of what I do now!

*sigh* it must be nice to be a mermaid and have your hair all flowy in the water

critique requested eh?
My only complaint is the white line used for the banner border, it doesn't fit in with the other tones that are easier on the eye. I maybe would have gone with a light yellow? something that wasn't so white.
the white for the smoke at least matches the smoke, but the white on the banner doesn't...
