Artist's Statement
This is one of several paintings I did about relationships between men and women. In A kind cup of tea, the man is dominant. A version of this picture appears in my book After Mostly.
A kind cup of tea by Richard Sorrell
Richard Sorrell is a painter of invented figurative paintings – 'people doing things'. His distinctive pictures are reinventions of reality, based on a lifetime of drawing and painting and looking at life. For some years he worked mainly as a landscape, portrait and still life painter, and as a painter of aerial views, mainly of grand houses. He was President of the Royal Watercolour Society from 2006-9, and is also a member of the New English Art Club, the Royal Society of British Artists and the Art Workers Guild.
