TEA TIME
Gouache
Available as a card in A La Mode

This image was painted in about 1987. I did not know to make transparencies of my images at that time. Transparencies were the only way to save images which were used for reproduction purposes. As a result the only thing I have today is a transparency of a print! ARG Yes, I scanned in the print when I got my Epson Expression 1640 XL in 2000 but without extensive work the image was only good as an example. I used it as one of my cards during the 80’s and as a print when I created my card and print line at that time. When I started going to the SURTEX in 1990/91 I presented the original image and sold it. There ya go — gone forever. So to try and rework the scan was a rather tedious adventure that has taken me several days. I am not sure that it is as it should be yet because I am not really all that knowledgeable in Photoshop; however, I went over most of it, 98% of it, and this is the result. I reworked it at 200 and 300% of the original. Here is the way it looks from the scan of the print.
