Letters from Our Heart

Little 8x8 daily oil painting for a group project. Our criteria was firstly the size, theme "tea" and had to include the color turquoise.
The book Letters from Our Heart - the lives of Australians through correspondence reminds me of all the letters my Poppy George sent to my Nan whilst away fighting during the two world wars and the teacup was handed down to me from Nan when she passed. Nan tended Pop's roses whenever he was posted overseas and they brought them both great joy.
