"The milk pitcher"
This is part of a collection of illustrations revolving around songbirds and tea. The colors for this artwork are chosen from my childhood memories of drinking sweet tea with condensed milk, in the early morning, in my aunty's cream colored home.
In this work, I wanted to illustrate a calm, curious and peaceful mood, grounded in the nourishing feeling a child has when consuming a lovingly made sweet beverage. I hope viewers can connect to nature through these works, and their own nourishing childhood memories.
Each illustration in the collection consists of a songbird, in a contemplative pose, with a part of an earthenware tea set, surrounded by natural elements. They are illustrations that remind us of the rejuvenating effects of time being spent in nature.
