Bubble Gum Tea

 
Bubble Gum Tea  6 x 6 oil on board
 
I love the colors of this tea towel with my purple tea pot, but it was
a little tricky to paint.  The problem was that the towel
colors were very dark, even in the light so it was hard to
create a light/ dark pattern when everything was so
close to the same colors.
I just decided to have fun with the surface texture, the mark
making and the colors.
The colors reminded me of bubble gum flavors: grape,
cherry, cotton candy- is that a flavor?
